Eck, except for the tune, do it yourself. After seeing a friend workng
on the head of his Subi, there is nothing we can't do. He really made it
looks easy.

I still have to get a decent feeler guage set, hmmm, maybe this weekend
I will take the time to sync the throttle bodies and see how the valves
where doing. The shop said that the valves did not need adjustment at
12K miles, but then again he also seemed to think that the throttle
bodies where just fine as well.
