Bob, Yeh the "no parts" thing didn't sound right. They normally hit you up for a gasket or two whatever they do...I asked about the valve cover gasket. They said they don't normally replace it. The manual does not say to replace it every time just to replace if worn. Actually I replaced it myself last year to stop a slight oil leak...wish I'd gone the extra step to check the clearances now...

I got a map of the valves and which ones had shims replaced and what sizes they are now. I'm real surprised the valve cover gasket didn't need replacing. My valves (either intake or exhaust don't remember which) were just slightly tight so the next size up shim was used. Throttle body was also sync'd along with chain and sprocket replacement all at the same time on mine. Also had the front end rebuilt (those A arm bearing were dust) so my bill was pretty hefty.
