[QUOTE="PhilJet09, post: 1132531, member: 20341"] Checking the valves is no big deal and not hard to do once you get the cover off, especially if you have all the pair plumbing out of the way. Adjusting the valves is another story. IMHO, if you don't feel comfortable doing this by yourself, you shouldn't. I know this is contrary to the advice most will give on here, but if you end up being off more than a tooth on the chain, you will do major damage and I've seen plenty of GOOD mechanics on this forum get one tooth off. Even being careful and even using the tie wrap method. You're doing the right thing, get a tech day going with someone experienced to help. If that doesn't happen, take it to a dealer and be without it for a couple days. At least if they screw it up, they'll have to pay for it. [/QUOTE]
