Default valve adjustment

hey all,
my car just had 70k and I want to do a valve adjustment.
Is it best to go to Honda dealer or is there any other reputable shop or person I can take my car to?

how much would the price be?

Thanks in advance,

Where are you located? Generally speaking, shops will only put the car within specs. If you want the most out of the adjustment(min. clearances), you'll have to have an individual do it or pay the shop extra.

bighead(Bill) does them and is in the NoVA area. I do them and am in Fredericksburg/Quantico.

Just to let you know, in order to perform this task properly, the blocks should be cold. You're going to have to let the car sit for quite some time.

That's totally fine. Grab some cold beers and just chill in the meantime. I can host it at my place but I don't have any tools so u all need to bring everything. Ill just provide the beers and barbeque. Also water for those to wash their cars. I also don't have a garage. I turned mine into a theatre

Oh oh...what happened Bill, I know how it feels though because I went through it almost 2 years ago. A painfull PT, Chiro and Accupuncture for 6 months later made the pain go away.

Anyway I'm game for a valve adjustment meet .
