i dont have the money for the dealer to do it, i know its a lot, but i have no other options. any suggestions? thanks

 

Get a Helms and learn to do it yourself.

Priceless.

 

Maybe try contacting some of the FL crew? I'm sure you could pay them in beer/food.

 

True, do it yourself. Helms is the way to go...

Live, Learn, Eat, and drink

 

i only did:
- oil change
- valve adj
- tire rotation
- poke around the car for any signs of broken chitls

yshi - who did this all for the low price of 25bux and a couple of hours

 

The most important of which is the valve adjustment, ... and oiling the antenna!
(not that changing the oil and rotating the wheels isn't important, as well )

I'll probably get grilled for using someone else's website, but this will tell you how to do a valve adjustment. This website is great for something like this...

Does Helms make a specific book for the Type R or is it just for the Integra in general?

 

Just get the 1998 integra book. Covers all of them.
The 97 book needs a supplment for the type r.

helms =$60
snap-on valve adjustment tool = part # YA8895 - 10mm - $46.10
honda bond = $10
a hurt back from a few hours under the hood = priceless

Integra in general, with reference's to different model specs including the R, and so on...so you will always be able to tune your R, with the helms.
