dont go anywhere other than honda to get your valves adjusted, unless u r doing it yourself (like me).
i heard of a guy near me that had a b18 hatch, and he took it to some shop to get the valves adjusted. soon after...the clacking came back and it started to run like shit also.
popped the valvecover and all 16 adjustment locknuts were gone
popped the oil pan and recovered 15 of em
still 1 locknut floatin around somewhere in that head.
ive heard stories like that several times
not too many regular mechanics seem to know much about DOHC VTEC motors.
