Yes, you are a bit off (seriously). At least charge $50 plus the gasket. If you would come to my place I would happily pay you $75. All year long.

I hate doing it. I have a chronic bad back so that doesn't help. And as I don't do a lot of miles on my cars, it's long enough between adjustments that I have to relearn everything.

(Not to overshare, but I am post concussion, some things stick and others don't.... I can do front brakes, wheel bearings, front end work blindfolded but I blank out totally on valve adjustment the second after one is done.)
