i did it on a 95 accord, F22b2 before 2 times.
It was easy but it took a long time.
I think its harder for these because there is a metal piece above the valves but it still can be done.

i think ur first service should be 100k IF they are noisy or anytime before that if they are noisy.

The older hondas needed adjusting about every 30k if noisy.

after adjusting my valves for the first time in the accord, they got noisy within 5k miles and i had to redo everything...
