Default Valve adjustment tool for 90 LX

Anyone know what size the jam nut screws on the valves for the 91 accord are? I ordered this tool for my ITR http://buy.snapon.com/catalog/search.asp?partno=YA8895&search_typeart&store=snapon-store was hoping it would work too.

Also I'm gonna need to replace my oil pan gasket, anybody done this before? I'm thinking of just putting the car on jackstands, jacking the engine up by the tranny, removing the crossmember that runs under the motor and pulling the pan, then replacing it. Only thing I'm not sure about is if there's an oil pump in there that I'm going to have to deal with. Thanks for the info.

Heh I just got that tool in the mail yesterday. I was going to say that is the correct Snap-On part and that the Accord has 10mm jam nuts too, but I just remembered I have a Prelude engine. Anyways, the Accord's motor most likely has 10mm nuts too.
I dunno about the oil pan.

You do not need to jack the engine or tranny to replace the oil pan gasket. I needed to remove the crossmember and disconect the two piece header, You leave the upper portion connected to the block just remove the three bolts and have a stand to support the exhaust.

Thanks for the info smokin, when I pull the oil pan is there an oil pump or anything else that I'm going to have to deal with or will the pan just come off without any problems? Thanks.
