Valve Adjustment

Who's the best in the Midwest or south central U S to trust with a valve adjustment. I'm located 90 miles southeast of St. Louis and about 180 north of Nashville.

Are you sure that it needs adjustment ?? I have found that many times the valves just need checking not adjustment .

I've been doing my own valve check since I owned my R3T -10k, 30k, 50k. During the 30k check I noted that some of my clearances were at the minimum and started thinking(dreading) of removing the cams when the 50k check was do. To my suprise ,the clearances had increased(can't explain it). But glad I checked each time for piece of mind. It's so easy for an scrupulous dealer to "pencil whip it", and tack on big bucks to boot!

This video should give you an idea of what you can expect if you choose to do your valve check yourself.
