Default Who Does Valve Adjustments in NE Ohio These Days
After reading a thread about some concerns with DBW models (here ), I'm wondering who does valve adjustments in NE Ohio these days. I know Ganley used to when we did mod days there but that was many moons ago.

I'm going to need to have mine checked as well... I can do most anything to a car, but I don't have enough experience with valve adjustments to trust myself. For what it's worth though, if you're feeling up to it and want to give it a shot, I did find this DIY that seemed pretty detailed with pics:

I was actually going to try to check with Greg if we do another tech day like we did last year Denny. I didn't have him do it last June since I'm only at 20k mi... but after reading a post by Billman (linked by Mocky up above), it sounds like I should have it checked out to make sure it's in spec. Supposedly Billman has found an issue with a lot of '06+ DBW S2K's where the exhaust valves are too tight and can burn up, thus causing the engine to misfire.
