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.

It's a bit complex to tell here. Two tips: 1) Get a torque wrench and do NOT overtighten ANYthing! 2) Turn engine so cam lobes on the cylinder you're checking are pointing skywards.

Engine must be stone cold, so you can't drive it into the shop. You have to let it cool down where it's going to be worked on. (doubtful many dealers are careful about that one). 'Curly' |
