Hi everyone - I just picked up an 06 s2000 and have been reading about how the exhaust valves seem to get tight on the 06+ models. I'd like to get a valve adjustment done. Can anyone recommend a good shop to get this done for a reasonable price, preferably a shop that knows these cars? I'm in the west end (Oakville). Thanks in advance!

Not sure what temperature water freezes in Burlington.

Cylinder head needs to be "less than 100°F (38°C)." Heats up fast, though, and even parked outdoors overnight and then driven into a garage will get it too warm based on my experience.

you can even remove the valve cover after driving, put a fan on it and wait about 45 minutes.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm not really comfortable performing this job on my own and don't have the necessary tools; Clubhopper I may take you up on this when the car comes out in the spring. With the colder weather I see coming the S will be going away shortly

I was thinking of tackling this over winter when the S is stored. Just need to get feeler gauge and valve adjustment tool. Going to do plugs and valve cover gasket at the same time, and perhaps TCT.
