    If you not confident in your self doing it go ahead if u think u can do it i did mine but under supervision of my teacher at my school but its pretty easy just need to get the valve adjuster and u need a socket and a wrench also some glove i cut my hand trying to break the bolts loose but i looked up the specs and did it no more tapping for me

    eighty bucks? lol

    dang that's out of control.....

    you have the exhaust valve clearence correct,
    the gap for the intake valves is .005 - .007"

    but be careful breaking the bolts on then rocker arms, on an LS, they're just sitting in a ball socket up against the cam... so if you twist too hard at the wrong angle, the arm will pop out on you, and you'll have a stroke because you'll think you just broke your engine...

    practice makes perfect, try it yourself. it's not hard
