HOW TO: Honda K Series Valve Adjustment (Honda Master Technician)

In today's video, we learn how to do a Honda K Series Valve adjustment by a Professional Honda Master Technician! With 190K Miles on my Acura RSX Type S, this is a MUCH needed maintenance service to keep this VTEC engine healthy and strong. We install NEW Gaskets, new Spark Plugs, AND a Genuine OEM Type R Valve Cover. Let's GO!

Learning how to use a Feeler Gauge for a Honda Valve Adjustment was something I needed to experience in person. Thanks to Larry Miller Honda in Boise, they allowed me to film this process with Cody who is there Lead Honda Master Tech. Honda's in general can develop rattles, loud ticking, idle issues, and even excessive smoke from out-of-spec valves. So while this video is more K series specific, the tools and techniques can apply to D Series, B Series, H series, and more Honda motors. I would say that after this video, I feel more confident in attempting this job myself.

Cody was able to relay a lot of great valve adjustment tips and tricks as well as the order of how it's done properly. With a somewhat higher Mileage K Series Motor, I wanted to make sure that this engine can continue to be driven hard and crack VTEC often! Overall I was amazed at how good the camshafts and top end looked which made me a HAPPY Honda owner. To celebrate the good news, we install a Genuine OEM Honda Type R K Series Valve Cover as the cherry on top, literally.

So whether you drive a K Series K20/K24 Accord, Honda Odyssey, Civic Si, RSX, Element, CRV, or TSX, I think this video will be extremely helpful in learning the valve adjustment process and what goes into it. As a result, my K20 feels SIGNIFICANTLY better after the adjustment. Better Cold starts, no rattles, no chatter, and the motor feels stronger through the rev range. Note* If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, don't risk it. Hire a professional or someone with experience. Otherwise, give it the college try! Thank you again Cody and LMH Boise!
