i would suggest you let that to a mecanic...atleast thats what I did on my Y8 ...and if you know him he'll hook u up with a cheap price
I got mine adjusted for like 30 bucks

Its pretty easy, put the engine in timing start with 1-3-4-2. When the engine in timing start with number 1 first then turn the motor by the crank 90 degrees counter clockwise then do number 2. and keep going till all is done.

Does this work the same for a DOHC? I would like to adjust my valves also but this article is for the SOHC.

yeah its the same for all Honda/ Acura and yes make sure the engine is cold. When you are done you can put put a bit of silicone in each corner before you lay the valve cover back on.

it's not a DOHC swap it's a regular 99 SI that has 125,000 + and could use a little valve adjustment.
