| Description of the problem | I've had two valve jobs done on my 2001 crv, once at around 45,000 miles and than again at 95,000 both times it was the number 3 valve that had to be replaced. The owner's manual i have indicates that the valves need to be adjusted at 105,000 miles but according to the dealer where i had the work done it needs to be done every 15,000 miles. I find that this type of maintenance on a non-performance car ridiculous not to mention expensive and time consuming. *ak |
