You dont need to adjust the valves. If you want just check them make sure there within specs (use regular honda specs)

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Luserkid &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">You dont need to adjust the valves. If you want just check them make sure there within specs (use regular honda specs) </TD></TR></TABLE>

x2

But if you feel like double checking its
Intake .006-.007
Exhaust .007-.008

would a valve adjustment bring back some power cause i feel like my B16 is lagging?

What I am asking is whether you lose power if your valves are out of spec?

if the adjusters are badly out of spec it may make a difference in power. you definately want to check them any time the cam caps/valvetrain come up... might as well... more recently i have seen a lot of cars that run like crap because the ignition timing was off. maybe not your problem, but if you haven't checked it, you should.
