I went mid grade: 0.10 on intake & 0.12 no the exhaust.
Anyways number #4 intake valve spring is a bit stuck on the open postition. Ran the car twice and its seems to re adjust itself. Yesterday, I went out test drive and when I got back the valve ticking got lauder, Im assuming its doing it's thing.
My wife 98 CRV had the same issue, she had three exhaust valve stuck in the open position, ran the CRV as is for about a week, and the springs came down to an acceptable level and was able to adjust the valve to spec.
Anyone else seen this issue or have an explanation?

Sounds like valve coking, cheap gas.

It self adjusted, test drove it with in the last two days, readjusting every time it went stone cold. Nailed this issue, no hungry mice underneath the hood.
My theory? I have none. My experience is just run the car till the springs wants to compress on its on. Don't floor and don't punch it during the test drives just let the spring do it magic on its own. That's how I handle this every time this issue pops up with Honda's.
