Anywyas my vid and topic still here. I dont wanna open another topic.

Kk so i was driving my car today and i was on second gear one 3rpm. So i step on the gas and heres the problem happen. So i step on the gas and the car didnt even pull. But i can hear the intake sucking air. So i was thinking that its prolly my trottle body or something. So many problems on this car... So annoying

If you have an AP1 valve retainers are a well known and documented issue. If you dont know if they have been replaced, have them checked.

Anyone know where can i get my valve adjusted and what is the part # of the oem tct. Or maybe there is like aftermarket for tct for honda.

Depends where you live (I don't know any Nanaimo shops). You're up Nanaimo way, correct?
I'd say bring it in but, that's not very convenient for you if you live up island.

Yeah i live up nanaimo. They have a shop where my friends go at its called 5252 motorsport. But i have seen good reviews about billmans250 tct. Sp i moght get it from him. Also i called honda about valve adjustment and they said it doesnt need to be adjust until 150xxx not unless u hear a noise.

I know the guys at 5252 (Blaine and Chris), abd can vouch for them. They have a new guy who had an S2000 and is very knowledgeable about them. I have had work done there and they sponsor and attend the Poker Run.

Ah nice maybe ill wait for billsman250 reply and talk to them how much is the labour of installing a tct and maybe adjust my valve. I love cars but i dont know anything when it comes inside the engine lolz

Sounds like the common TCT issue but yeah valve noise could also sound very similar but it's probably less likely. You can get the part from Billman250 and apparently you won't run into the problem again with the modified TCT. I also don't know any shops in Nanaimo.
