How much does a shop charge?
Like most things- my biggest fear would be they wouldn't put anywhere near the time, care and attention to detail that I can when I have the leisure of my own garage over as many days as I want.
The work once inside is time consuming...and I repeated all the measurements over and over again just to make sure after the reground cams through it ALL OUT OF WACK!
A normal adjustment shouldn't be too horrible but the older I get- the more my time is worth- so I can see what a shop charges what they do.
And yea... I have had the 'joy' of removing and installing the valve cover when swapping from a black one to brushed, and then when doing the cams.... it is a tight fit and a lot of wtf and careful wiggling.
