also make sure you have correct angle feeler gauges. A lot of sets are missing .007 .009

Did mine today and glad I did as I had a few loose valves.

yea, i have the right feeler gauges...i was just missing the adjusment tool because most of the valves i adjust at work can be down with a wrench and i know the valves on our cars are a little tricky to get to, but good looking out and thanks to all

I've have an official Honda adjustment tool that I have used for 20 years on all kinds of Honda motors.
On the S2000 you can get away without a tool if you do the adjustment right. I adjust the screw with the nut loosened and a feeler gauge in place, once I find the proper drag on the gauge I hand tighten the nut. I do a visual check of the slot position on the screw and then I do a final torque on the nut, and double check that the screw hasn't moved. I do a final check with the feeler gauge and that is it. The adjustment goes much faster and is much simpler without using the tool if you know what to look for.

Ok, well good to know thanks. I guess I will find out soon enough, at least I have the option.
