Default valve adjustment recomendations?

Looking to get my valve adjustment done. Any places that are trusted and resonably priced?

ask them if they'll do a spec adjustment or just check if its in spec. Will they check the valve retainer as well for the AP1?

spec adjustment would be Intake .008"///Exhaust .010" or .011" for '06+.

Be sure they know the torque specs as well.

good luck

Same. Speedstar charged $120 for the valve adjustment, $65 for the valve cover gasket (if needed).

This. Most mechanics just check to see if it's within spec, and avoid setting the lash whenever possible.

That can depend on the model year of your S2000.

I quote the great billman when I say the 04-05 is the most reliable MY s2000 *Insert smug look*
