Valve clearance on EJ25DE

[zebro racing]

Let me begin by saying F' my life. Its valve clearance time and the dealer wants 470 to do the job. this includes stud gromets, shims, spark plug and valve cover gaskets, and my favorite part new valve covers. apparently subaru recomends changing them. has anyone else ever heard of the valve cover thing?

do you guys know where i can find a diy on this job? does any one know the part # for the tool to pull the shims?

thanks in advance

unless your valve covers are fuckered up, i dont see why you would change them...except for the dealer wanting $$$$

that was my thought but im still kinda new to this subaru thing and they do have some quircks. so far i must say they are the alfa romeo of japanese cars (not meant as a knock, i love my 'ru but they do have "character").
