You need a valve cover gasket from autozone, maybe some gasket sealer, and feeler guages. There are already step-by-step tutorials on H-T, so just do some simple searches. I found these in a quick search:

This link might help if a valve adjustment doesn't fix it.

There's a DIY for a B18B

Either way, keep searching. It's not that hard, but if you really want to take it to the shop, they might charge you a lot. Good luck...

From the type of question your asking us i'd say your not exactly up to par with honda motors, thereby eliminating the option of doing it yourself. I say screw it! take it in to a shop and have it professionally done. A valve adjustment is not as easy as one might think.

 

absolutely agree,

Have it profesionally done at the shop or a dealer.

 

im not gonna spend the money to have a shop do it when my brother and I can do it ourselves in just an hour or two

 

well good luck with the attempt just dont mess up. acura costs about 175 to do the job if i remember.
