Over-tightened my Honda's valve adjusters

2009 Honda Civic LX 120,000 Automatic No Codes

Hello Scotty! 

When I got my car I was so exited that I adjusted the valves to spec but the lock nuts I over torqued to 50+ lbs ft on accident. I don’t know if that is the culprit to this problem: everytime I adjust the valves to spec they misadjust very quickly. I was going to ask you if you knew how I can repair this problem?

I did. And they kept getting out of adjustment less than the service time. Can you replace the adjusters without removing the cylinder head? When I did that job I had not studied auto tech at ECC San Diego . Now I know all about ALLDATA and Mitchell on demand. Actually if you go to kolhosniki.ru it’s for free but I downloaded a free version of both for 2014 and below cars (:

Scotty doesn't respond to follow-up questions, for future information, in case you were expecting a reply. Hope it works out.

Well you may have damaged the adjusters now. But go back and torque them all correctly and see what happens
