I have just gone over 60,000 miles on my '00 S2000 and I would like to do a valve adjusment. I've never done a valve adjustment in my life so if anyone local has any experience doing a valve adjustment themselves, their help would be appriciated. I've read the D-I-Y post that is on the forums but I think i would prefer to have someone with me who has done it before to guide me through it.

I don't feel safe taking it to a dealer since people say that a valve adjustment is a time consuming job where you have to have patience and adjust each valve within stock specs. I don't beleive a dealership will take the time to do it right and i would feel much better knowing that each valve is within specs by doing it myself.

So, if anyone is in the OC area and would like to help me for a day, just PM me and let me know what days you are free so we can set up a day to get this job done. If more people are interested I have a garage that can fit two cars and we can kind of have a valve adjustment day...

Thanks

i took mine to honda.. and they did an excellent job.. my idle stayed at 1k and didnt drop from that point on.. i would recommend takin to penske honda.. even though a lil exspensive.. but they really have an excellent service department.. thats the only place i would take it locally..

No, I have no CEL or any other sort of problem.

I just wanted to do a valve adjustment to make sure all the valves are within stock specs. I know that the manual recommends a valve adjustment at around 90k miles, but I've seen a lot of people do them way before that kind of mileage and found some valves out of spec.
