w1ngman,

I heard that you were going to paint your valvecover!!! (about 8 different times)
BTW, were you sick awhile back???

Valve adjustment is a piece of cake. I have no doubt that the bruised banana will purrrrrrr when you are done. It will probably tip the dyno around 500 H.P. too!!

Seriously, you all should consider replacing your A/C filters which are located under the cowl cover on the right side. (recommended every 30,000 miles) The info can be found on page 21-42 in the Honda service manual.

Tell your much better half hello.

PS I luvvvvvvvvv youuuuuu mannnnnn!!!!!!!

Rick

Well so far there is only one person (W1ngman) coming on the 10th. Please let me know if you are coming because I will be presenting a small present to every S2K that shows up.

Well, I just painted my calipers Red with the G2 paint system. It turned out phenominal, but when it is 95 outside the working time sure is a lot shorter (from 4 to 6 hours, to 1 to 1.5 hours) I should have expected that from an epoxy system.


Later,
Laz

Ninedeep, how did you find out... I ordered my Vortech and they shipped me 12. Yea, yea that's the ticket.
I Wish...

Cool the list is at 4

The minimum tool list for the Valve adjustment is:
Appropriate size Feeler Guages
0.21-0.25 mm (0.008-0.01 in.) Intake
0.25-0.29 mm (0.01-0.011 in.) Exhaust
10 mm (12 point if possible) box end wrench
Medium sized (short) flat blade screw driver
Maybe some rags

Guys it is pretty simple, the shop manual devotes a "whole 2 pages" to the adjustment. Once you learn the "feel" for the feeler guage "drag" you can be done in minutes.

I should be able to take care of any other tool needs, and I think W1ngman is bringing his tool box also.

Later,
Laz

Me too, don't sweat it.

PS. Ninedeep I'm pretty sure you don't have your hardtop on, but I would really like to see one in person sometime before I blew the money on one. So if you feel like dropping yours on I would really appreciate seeing it. Of course I could wait till Winter.
