Well, I'm finally back on the road with new valvestem seals, high-rev 
valve springs, and Shankle cams--many thanks to those who provided 
advice, lent me tools, sold me cams, etc, etc.  The initial 
impressions are very positive.

On a less positive note, get a load of this--my headlight switch 
failed a few weeks ago, much to my chagrin, since I'd bought relays 
and was merely too lazy to install them.  So I spend money and get 
another complete column switch assembly, and I'm going to have to 
pull the wheel to install it and the threads in my wheel are already 
trashed, and I'm thinking that this is really going to suck but "at 
least I'll get working turn signal cancellation out of it."  Well go 
figure, the turn signal cancellation on the old switch started 
working tonight!!!!  So, all of you GTV6 owners out there with 
non-functioning turn signal cancellation, I strongly suggest that you 
put a steering wheel puller on your wheel, tighten it just a little 
bit, bang on it with a hammer, and shout naughty words at it for 
about 10 minutes.  This seems to be the solution.

Cheers,
Joe Elliott
