In the manual, it says to do valve adjustment on a cold engine but I've always understood from other forums I visited that valve adjustment should be done with a somewhat warmed up engine. But if it is to be done cold, it could mean at like 30 degrees F or like 90 degrees F depending on what season you're in. Can anyone say without reservation which is correct and exactly why? Thanks.

Also, Honda charges more than 150 bucks to do this. It's about 400 bucks. Dave22 had his done and this was the charge.

Really? Dave22 even started a thread about it. He couldn't believe the cost. Hmmm....

hi guys
here in metro nyc i had billman do it at 10,000 mi and it paid off .he brings the tolerances closer than the honda specs as honda specs are wide so they can
push that the can does not need a tune up for 100,000 miles .of course if you are on this board you know better .he did it at 10,000 miles and made a big difference .i have 23,000 now and will do another either the fall or spring .see bill for the details i give him the nod on working on any s2k.
bill is the man
