You are really wrenching on an r18?
look like SOHC economy vtec.
How was the VC? Bet not too bad.
Any over minus .002" nominal on the tight side?

I would prefer adjusting valves rather than having drum brakes in this day and age.
Stealership would probably get $300, even more. Most of the time they wouldn't recommend adjusting it unless the valvetrain is really loud.
It literally takes less than two hours to adjust, you just need a feeler gauge (metric would be better), some patience and strong back muscles. If it's a Subaru, then it is another story.

+1. Stealerships won't suggest this at all on service orders, usually.
I4 Honda is definitely a lot easier, I must say!

My local dealer quoted me more than $400 for my 2005 CR-V. My normal indy mechanic did it for $260.

Color me unimpressed both by the cleanliness (any well maintained vehicle will look like this in this short amount of time) and the fact that in needed to be opened up.

Only 27mpg? You must be an idle-to-warmup kinda guy.
Well, MARCO, was the lash off? and tight or loose ( id est: tight EX, loose IN) I don't care a RA about how clean the VT is.
You better have checked the lash, buddy.
