What year and engine do you have? I have had mine up to redline numerous times. Not much so for racing, since I really don't race, more so for enjoying the car for what it is made for. Other than my listed mod in my sig, it is completely stock. There are no ticks, no valve knock, it pulls in VTEC as it always has, and it doesn't use any more oil than it always has (97-01's tend to use about a quart every 2 months). At 63,000 miles, the car is as close to a new car as you can get with that kind of mileage. How do valves get out of line, anyway? If they are off, the timming is screwed, no?
