Gang-
I've scheduled my 7500 mile service to be done in a few weeks and just had a few ?s for those of you who've had yours done.
First, I was told to expect to pay about $700 for the service, and that it takes about 6 hours. This was assuming the valves don't need to be adjusted, and the guy at the shop told me they rarely do at 7.5k. Does this cost and stuff about the valves probably not needing adjustment sound reasonable? Also, if they do need adjusting will that add much to the bill?
Also, I'm real curious to see how much of a performance improvement I can expect. I've seen one or two threads recently that indicated quite an improvement, so I'm wondering if that's the general consensus, and if so, where did you notice the improvement - e.g. acceleration, starting, powerband, "smoothness", etc.?
Finally, I'm only about 160 miles shy of 7.5k, but with this beautiful weather we're having in Central Texas, I could easily log 3-400 miles prior to my service appointment. Any big deal if I run a few hun over 7.5k before the service?
