x2, I have some like that with the holes lined up better, you can also cut out the entire section,not just the holes, then,while engine is running at idle, back off one rocker at a time,slowly turn the nut counter clockwise until it chatters loudly,now slowly turn clockwise until it is quiet,then slowly turn an additional 1/4 - 1/2 and you're done....on to the next...
