My 2003 CR-V has a 16-Valve-i-VTEC engine. Is that a gen 1?


No. Gen2. You have the K24 engine, not the older B20.



Quote:
Also,
what symptoms should I look or listen for
if the valves are off?


No symptoms (at first!) from the dangerous condition of inadequate
clearances. By the time you sense anything your wallet will be so light
it will float out of your pocket!



Quote:
Do I need to remove the valve cover?


Yes. There is no way around that. The valves are hiding under there,
concealing their dark secrets...

Anybody get this from amazon? It looks like an exact knockoff of the 60
dollar honda one. I've done well with box wrench and screwdriver but I
might get it for 13 bux.

Do a google search and you'll find that a lot of the V-tec people like it.

you're much better off with one of these:

and an ordinary screwdriver.

Jim, I think some V-Tec's require a long reach to get at the lock nuts.
TEGGER would know about this one. That's why I recommended google.com
for a search. I was thinking of "The Temple of VTEC"

these look accessible to me!

That's a picture of a b-16, similar to the NON-V-tec engine in my CR-V.
I thought MAT was talking about being able to use it on both kinds of
engines (since we were talking about a "a 2003 CR-V with a
16-Valve-i-VTEC").
Custom tools seem to make life easier and pay for themselves very
quickly (especially when this one is inexpensive to start with) :-)

I own the long handled pro 12 mm combination wrench, but since my '98
Odyssey is a VTec, I've thought about that tool as well.

Here's the 'real McCoy' of V-Tec adjusters, I think:

I'll have to check my Odyssey manual to see if that's what I really need.
