IMO- doing a valve adjustment isnt a 'novice' thing to do. lots of things can/could go wrong if you dont know what you are doing.
I saw that post you have of the DIY valve adjustment- i have seen other techs in the dealership i used to work at not adjust them correctly, you think a person who doesnt work on cars all day has better luck? probably not.
regardless, dont drop a shim, not put a bail clip on wrong, pinch a bail clip when installing the v/c........
the liability of a 15,000 dollar engine shouldnt be on people who dont know what they are doing.
if you are in houston, i can knock out anything the dealer can do, and cheaper guaranteed.
