Have you personally done a valve adjustment on a SE5

[Gray Ghost]

Freddy and Billy Bovine are correct. The SM5 procedure turns the crank using a 14mm hex on the right side of the engine. The SE5 uses a 14mm hex through the HCM. I need to check with someone who has been into that area to confirm something for me. I do understand how to do the actual checking of the valves and calculating shims if necessary.

I appreciate those who have posted in a genuine attempt to be helpful. Thank you.

$237 valve check...

That is a good deal if they really did it it takes more than 2.5 hours + valve gaskets check your bill.

I didn't check my bill, but you are probably right. I only reported the labor, which was added in at 2.5 hrs among a total bill of over $1200 for several other maintenance items, all done at the same time with a single tear-down.

And of course the valves were "in spec" and required no further service, as I hear is usually the case.
