Default Valve Adjustment

I think it is time for my valves to be adjusted, mechanical aptitude is not my forte. Would anyone with experience doing this be willing to help me and if so, what payment wold be good? Thanks

How many miles are on your car and what symptoms point toward a valve adjustment?

Tech Day at JFO's. John and I were discussing my S and I think I might need a VA done also. Just passed 60,000 before JFO took hold of my car for the LV run. God only knows what he did to my baby.

Yeah we can use one. Biggest issue is property. JFO has a nice spot to host one, but I don't wish tech day responsibility on anyone.

Oh , Was that your car ! Sorry ... You needed tires , brakes and fuel anyway right? He was very well behaved he didn't even bump anybody off the track! my bad "road" , Maybe we can get Freq to come over a do a valve adjustment how to he has done a few. If you have the right tools it's not hard but most fine we really don't need an adjustment until 100k. I don't think you will "feel" the difference. Are they noisy ?
