My wife doesn't do much with our cars, beyond when she 'decorated' the
front of her car, I had her come with me to search the local PAPs
looking for parts. That said, when I was trying to get out of insulating
under the house, as it was going to be a real PITA, I said that I
wouldn't do it alone, and that she'd have to help. She said OK, so I got
her one of those white HazMat suits, goggles, gloves, particle mask,
etc. It did made it much easier to have someone else pushing pulling the
insulation around while I was installing it, though it still was a PITA,
as the crawl space is really more of a slither space, and really dusty.

I don't think a valve job is all that easy, with all things considered and some major things can be screwed up too. How long have I been adjusting valves on a diesel Mercedes? Since 1976. Also done VW's, Subarus ,Chevy six's, and a bunch of diesel generators, I don't think any of them were easy. Maybe simple after I got the hang of it but still a whole lot going on under there. Don't take this job too lightly, learn to do it carefully. Would I ever pay anyone else to do it? Hell no. Max P.S. dealers have the wrenches too, thats where I got mine back in 76
