Valve adjustment information for a 2017 civic? Where do you find that looked in ower manual and didn’t see anything

and valve adjustment is not for everyone. You cannot master this on your own, you need to practice with a tech and learn on an engine. Anyone who did a valve adjustment knows what I'm saying. The feel cannot be translating through text or video.

Get the adjustment wrong, and you'll burn a valve.

Thanks dad for telling me what I can and cannot do haha I’ll be sure to be careful


Wow. Much edge. So funny. Must be a master tech, so what you doing here? You do realize that you talked down like 4 of the most active people here right? All of which by far more experienced than you dead to rights. Either be respectful or take yourself elsewhere.

I would recommend having it done by someone who knows exactly what they are looking at if you have never done engine work before.

Get a copy of the Haynes manual for that vehicle and follow the instructions.


Haynes manual where do you buy something like that?


Any auto parts store. Please see the Mod_Man comment above. This is not really an inexperienced DIY job.


Judging by the downvote he gave me, he's got this. {black}:serious:


Hey Mod_Man, do you think this guy even knows what TDC is??


I do not...nor BDC either for that matter. But that's just my hunch. {black}:wink:

You don't need to worry about valve adjusting on that car for at least  another 10 years from now if you don't drive too much in a year.

Change the fluids on time and drive. 


Not to be rude but I can worry about it all I want haha I do drive like it’s a race car and put a lot of miles on it


He did make his advice contingent on " if you don't drive too much" because your one line question did not provide very much detail. So, you are in fact being a bit rude.
