I have the Helms on CD-ROM.
I am meeting up with another member from the Mid-Atlantic club this weekend (he has a lot of experience doinf valves) and I am going to watch him do his and we'll do mine together (supervised teaching since I am an admitted "mechanical retard).

Update...
I took the car to the dealer and had the tech ride with me. He said this was normal valve noise after the break-in period. I told him that I've owned several hondas, including this one and reconize what a car that needs a valve job sounds like....like mine. Longstory short...they adjusted the valves and now its quiet as a kitten.

Is it still under the bed?

Gernby,
you're killing me here. Let me clarify, its not noiseless, but it is much quiter then before, like when I first got it. There isn't this loud clanking coming from the engine.
