I need to adjust the ride height on mine, I might show up too...if I wake up that early Depending on my plans tomorrow I can help out with the fluid changes 'n stuff.

oooh oooh can I do my valves there Terrance? I was planning on doing it at home, but if I'm already there I don't have any feeler gauges...do you have all the tools to do the whole valve adj. job?

My suspension also feels out of whack after I put new S-03's in the rear and had everything aligned...dunno if they farked up my alignment or what. Maybe one of you guys could take her for a spin and see what it feels like to you.

yogi,

I can do valves, but do you know your valve lash settings? I need to know what the lashes are before I can adjust. Also, you will need a new valve cover gasket as removing the valve cover will make the current gasket not seal very well. I have all the necessary tools for it.

I will check over your suspension for you. I'll check the height and the toe for you

You will also need the grommets for the valve cover. The engine should be cool before this is done. The lash settings are .009 to .012 from memory. I will confirm this with my Helm tonight.
