The transmission actually doesn't have a whole lot to do with the rear wheels. At least it doesn't on my Prelude . . . .


Instead of using the crank pulley, isn't it possible to rotate the engine by leaving it in 5th & turning the wheels?

From a performance standpoint, would it be better to adjust the valves towards the larger end of the range? I mean, would making sure the intake valves are set all the way to .19mm, and the exhaust to .21mm help breathing in the top end? Kind of like a (very) mild poor-man's cam upgrade.

And it's also worth mentioning, this is supposed to be done with the engine stone cold. Most people recommend letting it sit overnight.
