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.
