I already know the 1st two answers you'll want to offer
1.) search
2.) DIY

I don't want to DIY & that's what all of teh thread are for - will the Acura or Honda dealer be able to do a valve adjustment for me? I am 99.8% done with my swap & it seems that the valves are clattering pretty good, so I would like to get it done soon. Does anyone have experience w/ this?

Don't pay for a valve adjustment. When I did my head gasket for the first time my valves were ticking really bad and I was gonna borrow money from mom to get it done, but then a friend pointed out that its not hard at all.

As for searching, try the google instead I found it first try, I had a haynes manual for the ZC and had good instructions in it. Anyway good luck and heres the link

Now for the clearance measurements I used

.006-.007 intake valves which is the valves closest to the firewall.
.007-.008 exhaust valves which is all the ones closest to the header.

 

yea- I am sure it is easy; but I am soooooo not mechanically inclined. it was a struggle getting my ZC in & working, of course this is my 1st time ever attempting anything bigger than changing belts, or exhausts or whatnot, but I would feel better paying $100 & having it done right.

 

Yeah sometimes you have it, sometimes you dont, its all good. Make sure it purrrrrs when they are done.
