Is it fuel injected? If so, then there are revised valve
clearances for '85-'89 Accords and '85-'87 Preludes with fuel injection.
Adjust the intake valves to 0.20 mm and the exhaust valves to 0.32 mm.
These specs are a little looser than the specs on the underhood sticker and
eliminate the excessive valve over lap which causes a rough idle if the
underhood sticker specs are used. For reference, this information is from a
Vital Link TSB. I don't have specs for carbureted models but I'm sure that
someone else here should be able to help with that.

For future reference, you can usually find a service manual at your local
library. Some libraries also have subscriptions to the AllData data base.
