I'm in for an early drive as well. I'm trying to get as much stuff done before then so I can help. I took too much garage/barn time last year because someone *cough*Garrison*cough* was blocking me in . BTW - I'll be sure to bring the 23mm box wrench that's required to do the diff fluid change. 24mm for the drain bolt but 23mm for the fill bolt...really Honda?...really?

id love to do a valve adjustment....maybe even upgrade to the AP2 springs/retainers...but i have no idea how to do this, nor the tools.

I do have tools/jackstands (6 or 8)/low pro jack and a small air compressor i can bring along with $ for food.

If anyone there is up for a task LMK and I'm in

I think others are getting valve adjustments. Springs can be done also.
Feel free to bring tools/jackstands and jack. No need for compressor though. I have that covered.

The earlier people show up the more things will get done.
Starts at 10:am

I will post up the best directions with as little bumps a couple days before hand.

Follow my directions or be prepared for some bumpy roads. But many have driven the bumpy was so its not like its so bad.

I can do this but it is time consuming and you need compressed air.

Hey Will, glad to see you're gonna be in attendance for this one!

I'm thinking of doing a quick valve adjustment, I know Honda makes a specific tool for that task, do you have one of those laying around? No worries either way but I hear it makes the job a lot easier.

thanks for the replies guys! After reading your replies it appears there is the ability to get it done (tools and knowledgable people) but i dont want to take up too much time as i have never done this and will benefit from another set of eyes/hands.

If people are specifically saying they can help switch retainers/keepers LMK - i Will order today and get my tools ready!

Also, it appears you need a special tool- Hondamanwill - do you have this if your willing to help?

Thanks
