I was asking my mechanic and they charge some crazy 8 hours or so

eeehhh???? -- 8 HOURS!??? -- TO ADJUST THE OVERHEAD?? -- It takes about 20 minutes to adjust all the valves once the engine cover is off if you have done it a few times already. Engine cover and access to the front of the air compressor takes about 10 minutes to 20 minutes depending on truck model.

total, 40 - 60 minutes maybe for someone skilled at it, 2x longer for someone learning along the way.

I know Rawze, right!? That's exactly why I'm going to tackle it myself. Then I'll have the tools to do it once a year. Is it pretty easy to see and identify any possible damage to lobes when I'm in there?! Haven't seen it up close yet just in the vids. Just worried that it has never been done even though it was a big fleet, fleet truck....
