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.

Nothing... Do it yourself

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

Kudos to Kerry  again for the video! 

Not sure if it helps but this thread states that jamesmcb was quoted $250 a couple of years back (October 30, 2004 in Raleigh, NC) 

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  It's so much easier with that little piece of metal.
