Valve adjustment
Hey guys,
I own a 2008 S2000 which I bought from a Honda dealership as certified used. I bought the car with 55k miles and I was wondering if valve adjustment is included as their refurbishing process. It's sitting at 69k now and I am considering to do the work.
Thanks,
Don

They do not do a VA as one is not spec'ed in the manual to be done till about 105k miles on it. CPO means they redid the oil and gave it a multi-point inspection to make sure everything was in working order. They still go by the book:

There is an important sticky at the top of this forum for valve adjustments that applies to your model year:

I would recommend a valve adjustment for sure! Some newer model cars have an issue with the exhaust valves burning up. It couldn't hurt and its not too difficult to do by yourself if you have a decent knowledge of how valve trains work.

Yeah. I am fairly competent when it comes to working on a car, but the description says I should feel the right amount of "drag." This is what worries me since it is the valve we are talking about here and I can potentially mess it up. :/

Put your fingers on something flat, now without pressing down(just resting with the weight of your arm), move your fingers back and forth across the flat surface, that's the kind of drag you're looking for from the feeler gauge.
