Valve adjustment should be done by those who are experienced!..
I have just replaced a set of "burnt" exhaust valves on a 99 CRV DOHC because the valves were "overtightened" by a someone prior during a simple valve adjustment..
have it done by someone who knows and pay the $75.. or learn the way my customer did and pay $1200 for the valve job!

Am I going mad, or was this discussed in the Civic forum?
