I've have an official Honda adjustment tool that I have used for 20 years on all kinds of Honda motors.
On the S2000 you can get away without a tool if you do the adjustment right. I adjust the screw with the nut loosened and a feeler gauge in place, once I find the proper drag on the gauge I hand tighten the nut. I do a visual check of the slot position on the screw and then I do a final torque on the nut, and double check that the screw hasn't moved. I do a final check with the feeler gauge and that is it. The adjustment goes much faster and is much simpler without using the tool if you know what to look for.

Ok, well good to know thanks. I guess I will find out soon enough, at least I have the option.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but it sounded like you knew what I was talking about and you had done it in the past on other Hondas. I just find leaning over the fenders to get to the S2000 engine to be a bit of a strain, and I've already dented one fender by putting too much weight on to it, so the less parts to fiddle with the better for me as long as I get the adjustment done right. Let us know how you make out .
