I am going to adjust the valve clearance on both of my 01 CR-V's, before I
remove the Valve cover there is another item that has to be removed I
beleive its called the intake plentium.

Before I remove(plentium) it by removeing the 4 fasteners, does anyone know
if there is a gasket where the plentium meets the intake manifold. I am
concerend that if there is a gasket, it will tear.

I don't think that the owners manual mentions checking valve clearance on
the 01 models, as the in previous models, I have heard its a good idea to
check the clearance.

I have a Haynes manual but it only covers 00 models and there is no mention
of the plentium when removeing the valve cover.

thanks

Tom
