well, its time that i adjust my valves...this is my 2nd honda and will be my first time doing a valve adjustment , ive bled the lifters in a sr20 before but never a honda...
i have the basic idea , unscrew the lock nut...get out a feeler gauge and adjust it with a screwdriver until there is a little play in the feeler gauge...is there anything i should look out for?
i know it cant be too tight or too loose , it has to be just right...what else?

yea and each piston has to be at TDC before adjusting..
Here's the best write up for this on the internet:

*edit - cylinders need to be TDC on the compression stroke when adjusting.

you have to do it in order 1-3-4-2 if it is louder then you got them to loose....if they was too tight they will pop threw the exhaust

yes 177 Nm (130 ft.lbs.)
you are smoking crack. The flywheel bolts arent even 130 ft lbs
130 ft lbs would shear that 10mm off.
You might be thinking 130 in lbs
