valve adjustments
I know this has been mentioned before, but I couldn't find the post for it. Anyways, I have a B16 and I need my valves adjusted. I don't really feel like paying anyone to do it, so I was wondering if it's an easy job. If so, what's that tool that I need, where can I get one and how much does it cost? Can someone also please list the steps on adjusting them? Thanks.

Tools:
Torque Wrench & drive sockets
Feeler Gauge
RTV sealant
valve cover gasket
Steps:
Get a repair manual
Not a very hard job if you know what you are messing with and have the proper tools. But if you don't, I suggest you not to touch it.
You don't really need to adjust them unless you have a new valve job done, or put new components in.

Just wondering, if you dont really need to have it done then why does the honda manual recommend adjusting your valves every 48000km?

I haven't gotten mine adjusted ever since I put my motor in, which was about 2 and a half years ago and about 60,000 kms. How much would they charge to do this? I got a quote from one place that'll do it for $80. Is that about right?

just make sure that the shop does good work. this is definitely not something you want them to do a half-*** job on.
