Called the Honda dealer for prices on replaceing spark plugs $60.

Adjust the valves+new valve cover gasket $90.

Repalce rear axle fluid $50.


Has anyone removed the spark plugs and manually rotated the crankshaft
pulley to adjust the valves, I have the tools and repair manual to do the
job, (feeler guages metric sockets blablabla) just a little tired of doing
it, but at those prices I can find the energy.

My only concern if I check valve adjustment is rotating the pistons to TDC.I
figure it should rotate fairly easy with the plugs out. The rest is a piece
of cake.

Thanks

Tom

========================

hondasuv.com has it all in the articles section, with pictures.

You use the power steering bolt, when the plugs are out.
