Exclamation Valve Adjustment: I need details...
I basically know how to do it, but I need some details. I need valve clearances (what do I set them to?). I need bolt tension (what do I torque the bolts to?). I need the details. Anything and everything that I need to know about doing my own valve adjustment. Anyone with a Helms manual? Can one of you guys look this up for me and post some numbers? Thank you in advance!

For any of you guys that need any kind of info related to maintenance or instructions on dissasembly or anything, just go to your local Honda dealer and ask to see their service manual. If it is being used, they will let you look at it and copy pages from it for you.

Do they not make a Helms/Hayes/Chilton manual yet? I went looking for my own references and didn't find one. I'm assuming it's because they are still producing the same generation of car? That didn't seem right, because it doesn't help current car owners, but maybe...

Anyone know for a fact?
