My Manuel says to adjust the valves( intake) 0.007-0.009 (exhaust)0.009-0.011 how should I adjust my valves should I go in-between the two measurements of the intake and exhaust or should I just pick one measurement

That's odd that the manual would say "between" 2 parameters. Usually it's a precise measurement, especially when you are talking about valves. To much distance and you will have "valve slap", to little and you will damage something severely. You can always call your local Honda dealer.

If it were my car, I would go with the middle, personal preference though

Thanks for the reply some people ave told e that I should adjust my valves to the smaller measurement first and the make sure that the other bigger measurement won't fit when trying to slide the Gage in for example intake is
(0.007-0.009) so I should be able to slide in the 0.007 feeler gauge with slight drag and the 0.009 gauge should not go in at all due to the size difference I'm just debating whether I should do the adjustment my self after reading so many post of people messing up there timing and burning valves I'm a bit car savvy but haven't messed with the inside of a cars engine yet I wouldn't like to have to tow it to a shop especially because I'm kinda broke right now I will be starting a new job after the new year maybe I'll just wait to get this ticking adjusted after I get my first check ps im also worried if I did adjust it myself if the ticking doesn't go away I'll be back at square one any advice will be appreciated thanks

Not necessarily, Just know, everyone's feel is different. So, for person one, the .007 feel is tight and yet could still get .009 to fit really tight. another person may say .007 is good and .009 won't fit at all.

Rule of thumb is the same person should do all the valves.

Do what ever you feel comfortable doing.

So you want to check your valve alignment because there is a ticking noise?

Then what I would do is get the manual, follow the instructions for checking the valve clearance (removing the valve cover, getting to TDC, etc, etc...) and just getting a feel for all the valves, don't loosen or adjust any yet, just see what the average feel of the clearances are. If they all seem to be in the parameters, don't mess with it, you know its not the problem.

Just make sure before you check each set of valves, that piston is at TDC

use the lower # for setting your valves

also pick up SPTools P/N 11500 cam gear wrench to easily rotate the camshaft over when adjusting the valves, later.
