Default Tune up

I have been performing some minor tune ups to my car including the clutch kit w/ ACT pressure plate, replaced the slave cylinder, master cylinder, reverse spring inside the clutch shifter assembly.
I'm looking for someone who we all trust to perform a Valve adjustment for a fee. I love the way the car is turning out after 100k miles and want more. more. more!!!

Also, looking for some group drives in the evening time (reminiscent of those awesome group drives with Big Ryan years ago). I always enjoy the aural pleasure of my motor, swishing through the turns, blasting through the gears!

valve adjustment is not that hard bro. takes about 2 hours. btw, the act pressure plate keeps eating my throwout bearing. it slowly gets more annoying as the miles pile on(3200 so far). im upgrading to a spec setup next.

I'm not too knowledgable in the tune up department so I was looking to pay someone. As far as the throw out bearing goes, you can adjust your clutch pedal and master cylinder to ensure your not applying pressure to the throwout bearing isn't partially engaged.

I should do that then. If your willing to do the valve adjustment, I can let you use my tools and help you with the process.

I will have to do some research first. Solid research. I don't usually delve into my car without it, specially the motor but I appreciate the offer.
