When is this valve asjustment suppose to be done?

 

According to Honda, 100,000 miles unless otherwise required (i.e. your valves are noisy).

I think 60k is a safe in between adjustment. Before that seems like a bit of a waste of time to me, but some people have actually found their cars to be a bit out of whack at that early stage.
Others just like to adjust their valves to the tighter range of the spectrum and check them more often.

 

if you are always reving at higher rpm, then 30k miles is not bad at all. 60k is average.

 

Since Skip posted his effort here, figure I'll post the couple pics I'd snapped during his labors.

A valve adjustment is part of maintenance... while it can certainly improve things if they're WAY out of whack to being with, it's not a modification. [/QUOTE

cool, thanks

 

heffergm et all,

Thanks for posting your experience here.

Even though my car only has 15K it's seen 3 track days and some extended hi-rpm use. Including a long stretch of I95 about 50 miles north of Bangor Maine this Summer.

So I plan on getting the valves in spec this spring. But not until it's at least 60 in my garage.
