Default NFRS2kSi did a valve adjustment for me today..

I just wanted to say that Young came to my house this morning, which was 40 minutes from where he lives, to do a valve adjustment and change my spark plugs. This was his first time doing a valve adjustment on an s2000, but he's done many before on other cars, he used to be a mechanic, so needless to say the end result was perfect. He worked without taking a break, drank only half a bottle of water, and refused food, and after everything was said and done, the cost of it all was very very little, I'm not sure if he even wants me to advertise how much Young is in my book and I will definitely be using his services again, but next time I'll drive down to him! THANKS AGAIN YOUNG!!!

Bent valve are not always detectable. Some don't even give off Check Engine light. Just have to wait until it drops

I'm sure you did a good job according to the book

^^ ppl usually do valve adjustment on 60k service, but not neccessary. when ticking noise gets too loud, you should do valve adjustment.
