where to get valve adj. tool for VTEC motors?
Anyone know where to get one of these puppies? Links? Also, is this a hard job to do? I have never done it, but seen and read how it is done

I have used both the Honda tool and the Snap-on (Blue Point actually) The Snap-on one is much easier to use because you don't need an additional wrench to operate it like the Honda OEM tool. You just have to find a Snap-on dealer. And don't forget to get feeler gauges. The long ones (12") make it much easier, and try and get the proper metric gauges if you can, although it took 2 months to get them from my Snap-on rep. If you have never adjusted valves before, you may not want to start by trying a twin cam VTEC. It can be a little tricky to get the exact feel for the clearances. I have had to readjust many valvetrains after a customer tried to do it themselves.

I think they have been discontinued. I heard you can just use crowsfoot wrench. They are under $15 from harbor freight and you can put then to other uses.
