Valves adjusted every 30,000 miles?
I read in this newsgroup that the valves in a CR-V needed
to be adjusted every 30,000 miles? Does it say this in the manual? Can a DIY do it? What about an independent shop? Thanks |

Re: Valves adjusted every 30,000 miles?
Does this mean that current Honda 4 cyl engines all have mechanical
lifters? I'm surprised. I thought just about all modern engines used hydraulic lifters with no periodic adjustments. I haven't owned a car that required valve adjustments in a long time--I'm talking about old British cars like Austin Healeys, MG's, MiniCoopers(original version) etc. Ken Elmo P.
