Question is:
How can they do this if I am driving down there for 1pm (very hot engine) and leaving at the end of the big service?
Shall I ask them about this as they certainly haven't told me anything about a cold engine is needed to check them

When I took mine to TGM I dropped it in the morning and they did the service and valve adjustment in the afternoon.. it has been perfect since... I personally and not convinced the engine should be ice cold and as I say above the Honda manual supports this

Can anyone tell me the actual reason for adjusting the clearances? Someone on here said that it has made his engine harder to start, so is it actually worth it in the long run?
