Default 10mm or 12mm tool for the civic's?

I need to know if the jam nut on the valves is a 10mm or a 12mm.

On a Dseries, if a valve adjustment tool is what you are after, then you dont need a tool. On a Bseries, then the nut on top of the valve is 10mm.

Thanx, I went and opened the valve cover without the "tool" and then just went to work adjusting the valves.....stink of it is, the noise didn't go away even though I rechecked the valves twice......hrm.

Remember to adjust on a completely cold motor...
