My '08 is getting some love this weekend. engine oil and filter, diff oil, trans oil, plugs and valve adjustment.

The valve job was very time consuming. I use to do my motorcycles, starting at age 14 with a 70cc Honda, moving up to a 90cc, a 350cc twin and ultimately n 850cc 4 cylinder (with shims).
Technically it's not difficult to adjust the valves on the S, but tedious. I really only had one exhaust valve tight and one loose, but for someone that doesn't do it routinely I found it very challenging.
I do have the combo screwdriver/wrench set-up. which helped, but If I do it again, I would like to find a better feeler gauge. I have the craftsman feller gauge with an angled head, but it would be easier if the angled head were more like 90 deg bend instead of the 45ish angle it is.
(Note to self, call Chris next time!)

Got the sticking TB fixed. Damn plastic piece inside the TPS sensor. Also checked out the tune up top. She is pulling strong. Got some more air out of the A2W. Going to def buy a fan for the radiator part for the summer.
Off to dyno next month. Don't have time this month. Then off to Chris to get diff flange changed.
