    I think it is multiple clicks/squeak. Havent heard it since about March.

    Hi Bill,

    Yeah, I am victim of multiple clicks. Sounds like 4 or 5 clicks per turn. It doesn't bother me much anymore unless I am thinking about it but I would like to get this issue taken care of some time soon. Well, it is that time to adjust the valves so I better go to the garage and make sure I have everything I need to do this job smoothly (thanks to the switch mechanism you suggested a few years ago to crank the engine) and painlessly.
