I thought you were going to do yours this Saturday?
The thing to keep in mind if you drive some place to do a valve adjustment is that once you get there you have to sit around and wait to let the engine cool down before you even attempt to remove the valve cover (I guess this would go along with any internal engine work).
This idea of a tech meet or install day is something that I see on other boards much more often than the 6 years I've been on this one. There are small scale ones I've heard of but nothing like something the Subaru community has done multiple times over the years. It's a good thing though.
One thing I thought of doing once was doing someone's timing belt or valve adjustment while someone video taped me. This way you could upload it to a webserver and use the video itself as a walkthrough. To go along with this I thought that if one person needed a timing belt or valve adjustment done you could get like 5 people to join in on the day and all chip in for the price I would charge, thus lowering your costs all while learning how to do it yourself (extra points if you video taped it).
