labor is so expensive.

second is more horsepower and ides rougher..

is it true?

The "valve adjustment" thing is the biggest crock of s*(t I have ever heard.

There are defined specs with a .001" variance allowed. Go to the on-line manual and check page 6-55.

I just do not understand why they dream up this BS. Did they offer you different pricing for each!!!!

In regard to Labor Costs:

At $75/hr thats 6.4 hours labor. This seems a little padded to me. This is at a dealer correct?

If the car runs great, use this as a learning experience. I would consider a second quote on additional work you may require in the future.

Parts Pricing:

You paid list prices for parts. Not out of line for a dealer to do so, although some do better.

All and all not too out of line.

Yes, there are two ways to adjust valves:

1. Correctly (in spec)

2. Incorrectly (out of spec)
