Mechanical help in Melbourne
I've got a 2007 S2000 that I did a valve adjustment on that I didn't get quite right (I've attempted twice so far). Apparently my feeler guage skills are not up to par, so does anyone nearby have some valve adjustment experience and wouldn't mind coming over to help?

Thanks guys, yes I have angled feeler guages and it seems like a simple procedure, I think the "subjective" part I'm having trouble with is how much drag I should be feeling. I followed Robrob's instructions to the letter with the tools he suggested. And I'm even sober while doing it!
Nick yes I would definitely like your help when you are free. It sucks not planning my next track day because of something silly like this.

I'm no expert but been doing my own the last year and a half. Engine must be stone cold. Made that mistake once. Loose is better than tight. I set .009 on intake and .011 exhaust...on the loose side. Runs great afterwards everytime. Bought me one of those fancy tools with screwdriver down the middle of the wrench with swing handle...works like a champ. I can do a complete adjusment now in just over an hour ready to roll. Good luck!
