Post by: brown.rw on February 18, 2008, 03:46:53 PM

I searched the forum and could not find the answer i was looking for.

How much should i expect to pay to have my valve clearance adjusted?

thanks.

Watch this video and see if you think you can do it yourself.

Kudos to Kerry again for the video! :thumb:

Not sure if it helps but this thread (http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=13203.msg111551#msg111551) states that jamesmcb was quoted $250 a couple of years back (October 30, 2004 in Raleigh, NC) :o

Yikes! The valve adjustment tool cost me $20 brand new and a new shim was about $3 (plus about 1 h of my time).

if you can't or don't want to(like me) do it yourself just shop around and get quotes

I tried doing it myself without the tool. This is after i watched the video, which was fantastic.

It is at the shop right now...it is run by one of my students and his dad so I know I will get a good price. just curious about ball park. Thanks for all the input.

There's the kicker! I know some guys on here have done it without the tool, but they're crazy :cookoo: It's so much easier with that little piece of metal. :icon_mrgreen:
