Do valve reliefs go up or down? My Firestone mechanic forgot...I think he may have installed them wrong.

Ah I see where this is going... REV her up and dont stop till you hit 88mph. Oh also spray it while its untuned and make unimpressive hp numbers for a HC gas car. Very important that you not miss one step or you may **** a rod through the block, but worry Doc can fix that ****...
