It was 90.00 plus the gasket and I wasn't there when the work was performmed.....for me it was worth it.......I don't care to twist wrenches except to check the spark plug.

The easiest way for me is to remove the front plastic and gas tank, remove the valve cover , get engine at tdc with timing marks that you can see through the hole in the recoil housing, set valves at .06 with feeler gauge.
