[QUOTE="SLK50, post: 1251553, member: 4790"] Valve CHECKS are easy. One person, one afternoon. Valve ADJUSTMENTS on the other hand are best done with two people. One good with math and a clear head to figure out the shim changes and the other with a good skill set to do the work. Working together it can still be done painlessly but you need to allow time to obtain shims if needed. If the person doing the math is REALLY sharp some of the necessary shims can be swapped around reducing the need for new ones to a few. [/QUOTE]
