If you hear your valves clicking at idle(after warm up) then you might want to consider it.

Should the valves be adjusted in firing order?
BTW, what is the firing order of the F20c?

I've always done my own on Accords without hydraulic lifters - I simply do not trust anyone to do it as well as I can. I have always been able to reuse the gasket, but it is a good idea to have one on hand if you only have one car.
I had 2 horrible experiences with timing belts - a Mazda 626 and my wife's Toyota - in both cases, the techs got the belt on and moved the cam pulleys, and then could not start the car - so they advanced the distributor and cheaped out.
On both cars, we would experience terrible detonation, and when i reset the timing, the car died.
After I figured it out, the Toyota was easier to diagnose. In both cases, I went back to the dealers and demanded correction.
Now, I would not let a dealership touch my baby unless I knew 5 people who had the same service and were delighted.
My time is valuable, and my back not what it once was, but a little pain to me is worth it if "my baby" is spared.

I'n my Helm manual it specifies TDC -> adjust 1, rotate and adjust 3, rotate and adjust 4, rotate and adjust 2. So it would seem that you are to adjust them in the order of cylinder firing.
