Should I do a valve lash adjustment on our 1998 CR-V w/ 95k?
Have no clue...but I think its a wise idea that you adjust them.quote:

Actually, I'm a "supermoderator" which allows me to mod all the forums. The 900/9-3 are my home forums. Too bad I wrecked my 900 and now have a sludgy 9-5! Hence the increase in BITOG posts and the envy I seeth when looking at those Accord and RSX pics. That's ok, my other car is a CR-V.quote:

Hmmm, Brian, it doesn't look too good for you, my friend.
I start wondering about your loyalty to this forum and the country.
Please convince me otherwise...
I've had my timing belt replaced on my 4 cylinder Accord twice now, and I had the valve lash done both times. If you do it that way, you only pay for one valve cover gasket, instead of two if you do them seperately. I have no idea if it's standard procedure though...quote:

Is it normal practice for a decent mechanic to do a VLA when doing a timing belt on the Honda 4 cyl? We got the vehicle with 85k and a fresh timing belt, supposedly the mechanic nagged the owner into an early service. Would it be normal to have done a VLA at the same time?
