I have a 2006 Civic LX Sedan, 1.8, with automatic transmission.
It has 139,000 miles on it and I need to adjust the valves.
I know that it does not cost much to have the dealer do it but I would like to do it myself.
Can someone post pictures and a how to guide for me please.
I don't need a step by step guide.
What I really need to know is if the 2006 valves adjust with a lock nut, screw driver, and feeler gauge or do I have to use shims.
If shims are used then I don't know how to do that.
Thanks for the help.
