[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 872698, member: 118"] Well, I think some of you guys are talking out your ass! Of course, I haven't done it myself yet so can't say for sure but I am damn confident it would take me a HELL of a lot more than 2.5 hours to do an adjustment. Probably take me a whole day the first time. Maybe even more than a day. My guy charges 5.4 hours. He says it takes him longer. I trust him. Someday, I'll find out for myself. And for FJReady - $300? Are you sure he did it? Or did it right? Hell, parts alone for the job my guy does is close to $200. Granted, he is charging full MSRP and I could get that stuff myself cheaper, but there are four spark plugs, three quarts of coolant, and a metric butload of gaskets and o-rings that are replaced. Oh, and my guy DOES tell me the current clearance on the shims. In fact, he goes so far to annotate if the measurement was a tight one (-) or a loose one (+). [/QUOTE]
