After 40,000 some miles, I decided that I should take a look at the valves. The result? I had one valve that was borderline tight, but within specs, and 10 valves that were out of spec loose and needed adjustment.
I didn't expect that.
I am glad to hear that. I have 20,500miles on my '99 and its $300 for an adjustment(due at 16000 as per honda) or more that I may or may not need. I am in Puerto Rico and prefer to do all the service myself if at all possible. If indeed the tendency is to loosen I am thrilled. Perhaps I can handle a valve check on my own and if its out of specs drop it off at the shop. I have no shims and Im not into removing camshafts and such...Can a tight valve be heard???
