Honda's maintenance schedule for the 8th gen Civics recommends valve adjustments at normal service intervals "only if noisy" IIRC, which seems like kind of a weird strategy. I got to thinking about this today, and how much of a PITA it's going to be to check the valves given the cowl trim that needs to be removed to get the valve cover off. I'm just glad the specs are given for a cold engine.
Does anyone know what the published labor time is for this job?
