i just did it for my S, almost 95K, not sure the previous owner did it before this tho'

i actually did it twice in two days, the first try was too loose, it was ticking like a car bomb.


the first thing I did it took me 4 1/2 hours, the second time was 3 hours.

it sucks because you have no room to put your body/hands on without denting fenders. i did valve adjustment for my other honda, so it;s like my fifth time doing that.

batter heat shield need to come off, the spark plug coil wires need to be loosen, the injector cover needs to be off, pcv, sparkplug, cover, strut bar if you have one of those, two more sensor on the side of the VC, etc

just abunch of little things is in the way, oh, when i almost have to tighten up all the valve at 95-100K so if you could spend some time, do it at 75k
The only reason I have a shock tower bar is for something to lean on when I am working on the engine.

I just put blue tape over the edges of the heat shield so I don't cut my arms and work around it.
