Valve Adjustment - I Feel Improvements

Hi, I just got Honda to do a valve adjustment and valve cover gasket replacement and I must say, I do feel a difference.

Sadly they did not provide me with the spec sheet however they did tell me that all my valves were out of spec (mainly too tight), which made them quiet.

I currently have 185000 KM on the odometer.

Right now my gas milage is 19.6012 MPG - Pre-valve adjustment. I will calculate if there is a difference after a couple of fillups.

After the adjustment, I noticed less shuddering, a smoother powerband, a little bit more power, a bit louder engine.

Let me know if you have any questions.
