And don't use the starter to turn the engine. Use a socket on the crankshaft

Re: Valves adjusted every 30,000 miles?
 

My 2003 CR-V has a 16-Valve-i-VTEC engine. Is that a gen 1? Also, what
symptoms should I look or listen for
if the valves are off? Do I need to remove the valve cover?

Thanks!

No. Gen2. You have the K24 engine, not the older B20.

No symptoms (at first!) from the dangerous condition of inadequate
clearances. By the time you sense anything your wallet will be so light
it will float out of your pocket!



> Do I need to remove the valve cover?



Yes. There is no way around that. The valves are hiding under there,
concealing their dark secrets...

Jim, I think some V-Tec's require a long reach to get at the lock nuts.
TEGGER would know about this one. That's why I recommended google.com

------------------------------------------

That's a picture of a b-16, similar to the NON-V-tec engine in my CR-V.
I thought MAT was talking about being able to use it on both kinds of
engines (since we were talking about a "a 2003 CR-V with a
16-Valve-i-VTEC").
Custom tools seem to make life easier and pay for themselves very
quickly (especially when this one is inexpensive to start with) :-)

I own the long handled pro 12 mm combination wrench, but since my '98
Odyssey is a VTec, I've thought about that tool as well.

That's a picture of a b-16, similar to the NON-V-tec engine in my CR-V.
I thought MAT was talking about being able to use it on both kinds of
engines (since we were talking about a "a 2003 CR-V with a
16-Valve-i-VTEC").
Custom tools seem to make life easier and pay for themselves very
quickly (especially when this one is inexpensive to start with) :-)

I own the long handled pro 12 mm combination wrench, but since my '98
Odyssey is a VTec, I've thought about that tool as well.

Here's the 'real McCoy' of V-Tec adjusters, I think:

I'll have to check my Odyssey manual to see if that's what I really need.
