I need one. How much is it going to cost me? how much time you think? also, need an alignment and toe adjustment, maybe a camber correction. anybody know how much? or if you're in the OC you know where to hook me up?? 95 LS.

 

i have full coilovers, front camber kits (the whole control arm is replaced) and rear camber kits. it cost me 100 for an alignment, and to dial in some negative camber all the way around and to adjust the toe... i did this in "SoCal Tire Shop" located in burbank, cali. they do great work, very pleased.

 

acura told me $145 for a valve adjustment on my gsr

 

damn. i need to save up some cash. thats way more than i thought. anybody got a connection that can hook me up cheap?

 

do a valve adjustment yourself
or ask a friend to do it for you and pay him cheaper then the dealer

 

do the valve adjustment urself...its not that difficult..even though i still cant even get it perfect...cuz im not usin that snap on tool..but if u buy the tool..its a breeze

whats this snap on tool you speak of? what does it do?

i just use a 12mm wrench, screw driver and feeler gauge

 

for LS all u need is feeler gauges, screw driver and 12mm wrench.
the snap on tools help a lot for the vtec models

fiance actually, and thanks i think so too.

 

I want to see your hot gf too!!!11

hey if you live in lake forest i probably saw your car before. i'm in mission viejo.

 

whats the effects of not having a valve adjustment? like engine ticking or something? i think i might need one too.

and also, whats the good thing about having the valves adjusted? running smoother?

knock yourself out lol.

you prolly did see my car but probably didn't take a second glance. stock height no rims till bout dec, now its dropped with a cf hood no rims still... steelies. no one wants to buy/trade my 17s and i won't keep them on the car lol. want to have a meet? its too bad that i only know 2 other guys with integras, and unless you drive a white GSR its unlikely you are one of them lol.

i did notice that there are no current pictures of my car up so ill post one just to jog your memory. seriously though, we should have a meet. way OT but oh well. ill post it later koz photobucket is a pos. thanks for your help averyone. and i too am interested in the consequences of not gettin a valve adjsutment, i have actually needed mine for some time now.

if your not mechanicly inclined, dont even attept to do a valve adjustment. if you take it to the dealer it should be no more than 100 bucks or so

 

when i say not i have zero experience thats not exactly true, i've done oil changes, installed coilovers, installed a door + rewired the door, pretty much by myself. but engine work? don't want to expletive **** up. know what i mean?

do it yourself and learn on installing an intake or something...not on adjusting the valves. If you have no experience then just take it somewhere and have it done.

While it may not be rocket science, for someone that has no experience, a valve adjustment isnt a good thing to "learn"on.
