Maybe you could find someone on this board who lives near you that could do the valve job. Or you could find a good tuner shop around there that does turbo and aftermarket work on Hondas and they could probably adjust your valves pretty quick. Just make sure you ask around until you find a good one. Or you could always bend over and grab your ankles at the dealer

 

I livein Chi-town too, all the Honda dealerships suck here. I know how to change my timing belt, waterpump, tensioner and all that but I don't have a garage and I just didn't feel like doing it myself till I called 3 different dealerships. These jerk offs wanted close to a grand for the job. The dealership downtown (Fletcher Jones)wanted OVER a grand. So I ended up borrowing a freinds garage and doing it myself.

 

I'd like to thank everyone for all their help. I have good news. I didn't get ripped off I don't think. I guess you gotta crack the whip at the dealer once in a while in order for them to provide you with "quality" service. Labor ended up being ($160) and parts were ($68.61). I also got a discount ($21.34), btw this includes a master key that I had them make one for me. So I'm still a happy customer at the Honda dealer.

The leak was coming from the Camshaft end plug and the parts for the valve adjustment was a new VC gasket set. So it ended up being a grand total of $211.75
