I don't know how this is happening either... especially wrenching from a supposed industry "mechanic".

I just pulled the top end off my wife's GZ to replace the valve seals, and setting the valve clearences a fairly straight forward procedure. Suzuki is one of the most user friendly valvetrains to set valve lash. Most other mfg's use precision shims under the cam to adjust, and this shim method is expensive and a PIA !
