Wouldnt mind a tech day to learn how to do it.

 

Of course I do and I've been working on S2000's since they came out new and it still doesn't take me less than an hour (unless someone is rushing to do it and not doing it right, I have seen a lot of cars and mechanics adjust the valves on F20/F22 like they do B series and H motors and it is way different), so g/l to the ones trying to save $$ on that..

 

Damn I need one too its the only maintenance I don't know how to do my self...

 

I need one too. Haven't had the time to do it myself.

Anyone down to meet up and get this done?

 

Mine running fine after 30k miles and being turbo'ed for 8k of those miles as a reference point.

Down for a get together as well.

 

valve adjustment SHOULD be done ever 80k miles but there's no harm in getting it done more frequently (cept for buying new gaskets).
It's a fairly easy job if you have the tools and know what your doing. If not let someone that does take care of it.
Apparently our cars valve train is pretty loud because i have had mine adjusted and it still is pretty audible. Honestly i hate it and it still doesn't sound right to me so might do it again lol but who knows..

 

After a good valve adjustment it should be as quiet as when the car was new, sometime a little ticking noise could be due to a cracked retainer (known problem on AP1's).

I just did a turbo install on a car and we talked the customer into doing retainers and found 6 cracked retainers (valve train was a little noisy too).

 

hmm.. its an AP2 but it does make some noise...
