8K Service cost?

[the Ferret]

Yes I have a detailed receipt for the entire service. Shims were not costly, although I have since found a supply at the right price. The entire service was around AUD 900 plus a couple of hundred to shim the valves, in excess of just checking them that is.

If the costs had been more reasonable the dealer would have had the pleasure of slowly bleeding me in the intervening 43000kms.
But he was too greedy first time. Now you know why I do it myself. Once bitten, twice shy.

Cheers

So how many valves were adjusted? Intake or exhaust? Were they out of spec or did dealer just bring them to middle of spec? I know a lot of questions, but that's how we are going to learn the tendencies for these motors.
