Car runs great now - so a bit expensive - but I am glad its done I know my wife will be safe.

Thanks for all the input!
Thanks for the feedback. Valve clearance inspection/adjustment is supposed to be done at 60 K, 120 K and so forth, but it is fairly neglected because of the high labor charges, specially at the dealer. Well..., at least you won't hear that annoying tick noise for the next 100 K miles!
