Default who can do valve adjustment?

So my car is turboed and has been getting worst and worst. I was beginning to think it was the tune and the weather getting colder but not sure what it is (currently buttoning up some mods and putting exhaust on it and getting it retuned) but the car has 8x,xxx miles and im the third owner. Not sure what was dont for maintenance. BTW I'm in VA Beach and car is in a garage right now.

Cory in Hampton is your guy. He's a mechanic by trade and owns and S2000. When I had one, he's the only guy other than me that would ever do anything on my car, and yes, it is worth the drive up there from Virginia Beach for sure.

I understand that Pete (Fish22) did his own valve adjustment himself recently though. If you have a mind to do it yourself, you might want to hit him up for tips. He's here in Va Beach.

I second Cory, he did mine this year.

Just make sure all your injectors are plugged in. lmao

Cory can do it .... He did a valve adjustment on my car couple months ago. Real stand up guy and at a good price as well.

Another recommendation for Cory!

If you're not willing to leave the Beach, I can definitely give you a hand. I was actually surprised at how easy it was to do. You just have to get the right feel for the drag while using the feeler.

4 hours is a little risky. Best to just let it sit over night.

Having the engine below 100 degrees is key.

most likely going to have ramey built do it as I am getting it tuned and what not from him. Now I just need to find some exhaust rubber hangers as my car doesn't have those either. Anyone know what size we need? I have an invidia exhaust that I am planning on putting on.

I just measured an OEM one that I have and the distance between the two holes is 1.5 inches.
