Honda K Series Valve Adjustment -EricTheCarGuy

I've done a few valve adjustment videos in the past and I've been asked about doing one on the K series engine from Honda for some time. Since my 2004 Element was due for a valve adjustment I decided to make this video of the process.

Here's the additional information I mentioned in the video.

Honda recommends checking the valves at 110K intervals. The clearance specs are as follows.

Intake: .008-.010in .203-.254mm
Exhaust: .010-.013in .254-.330mm

Good luck and thanks for watching.
