Adjusting Valves. - Honda Prelude Forum

Anybody in the NE feel like helping little old me adjusting the valves on my 4g vtec (usdm)? I would do it... but I kind of want some help for my first go at it, plus I'm going to need a few new valve cover bolts because some of the heads are gone(i had a spark plus pop out and fly through my spark plug cover piece at a really high rate of velocity; yes there is a pimple on my hood), gonna need to probably drill those out or something.

They simply unscrew out once you have the valve cover off. You should be able to slip a 10mm Flaired wrench over the stem and down to where you can turn the whole thing out. I had two of them snap off just the other day. I will be buying new stems when I am done with my rebuild.. Honda hears me coming a mile away. later on bro

So basically my valve cover is being held on by like 3 bolts? Any idea on how much those bolts are? I'm gonna go Tue and pick some up in that case... Thanks bro
