you can do it yourself if you buy 2 tools

1) http://www.amazon.com/Alltrade-64882.../dp/B0002Q8TU0
2) http://www.amazon.com/25304-Gauge-12.../dp/B000BYD93A


i didnt know dick about cars when i got my s2k but i just read the shop book pdf and read the DIY threads and went to town

its not that complicated if you take your time and really focus on what you are doing

if you have questions along the way just stop and read the diy/shop manual

I just prefer to watch someone do this kind of things first and then do it myself. I haven't checked for videos about it yet.
My s2k is my daily and I really can't afford to screw things up and I am not very confident about my abilities.

Oops, forgot to say that my friend (who is a mechanic) helped me out with the valve adjustment. Thanks for the replies guys!
