A look at the 2.5 Innards - DIY 20K mile service, including valve clearance check and shim replacement

[Taz]

This has been a great thread. I now understand I need to budget about 6.5 cents per mile just to cover the valve clearance check at 20k mile, and I hope they are all in spec so it doesn't drive the cost up even more. I thought my old desmo Ducatis were bad for running costs.

Thanks, Journeyman, for the walk-through.
