Hi all, My wife and I bought a 1998 CRV with 56k miles. We thought we got a good deal on it until we brought it to a Honda specialized mechanic who said it...
The valves should not need adjusting, at 56K, but a timing belt is an extremely good investment unless you have a service record that shows the belt has been...
Paul, What Bob G. said in his reply is true. If the CRV was about 2 or 3 years old with only 56 K miles on it changing your Timing belt and adjusting your...

Paul, I agree with the others. No need to do the valve adjustment at 56K miles. The recommended timing on the timing belt is 105,000. That's when I did...
Paul, A valve adjustment IS NEEDED! I had a 99 CRV and at 113,000 miles I lost one of the cylinders. The guy who bought my CRV ( for $800) said that one of the...
Get the valves inspected/ajusted NOW. The cylinder heads on the CRV are noted for having soft valve seats on the exhaust side. The valves slowly sink into...
