need to change gasket at the same time is it ?
estimation of $$?
thanks....
bro lucasrock, understand it is adjusted by turning the stud screw which is then locked by the nut. Will the gap run off ?
Next question, if we change to a mild cam, is the tappet adjustment different if compared to using a stock cam?

Just do it. I done mine at 160k and the af mixture becomes leaner and the engine is quieter as well.

I did it at MR together with my regular service. Think they needed 1 hour, price was ard 80+ if I recall correctly.

Not mandatory but good to do it based on what I see for the AFC readouts on my Blitz R-vit.
But you'll need a workshop who knows how to do it properly or else you can be screwed if they didn't do it properly.
