Thanks for RE. I am not experienced DIY.Change oils,brake pads etc.Problem is lack of time ,commute 5.5 hours a day +O.T,
I can pay it if is worth it.INYDY said so also valves must be adj.+tensjoner.How much time it will consume?iI Think He charge $85 per hour

if it is done correctly, the price is not bad.
But if it is hacked, you could spend three times that trying to get it fixed...

I love That Site.Now I can sleep well.Thanks I fill better
