Default Valve adjustment

I am sure the valves need to be adjusted on my 92 Accord. Should this be done when the motor is hot or cold(sitting over night)? Anyone have any tips?

Thanks.......Dylansdad

-you need to do it with the engine cold
-make sure you bring each cyl to TDC before adjusting the valves for that cyl
-use the right feeler gauges
-taking the plugs out makes it easier to tur the crank by hand

this is for a B18C, but it's the same basic principle:
