congrats on the new job Markus.
That spiral light thing was on the news here, apparantly some russion missile launch. Norway is quite close to Russia up there.
Stijn, I need to come to Belgium and drink one of those beers. My best friend is in Brussels right now and I'm planning on coming down in the spring.
I was in Oslo yesterday, picking up my ridgeline from the shop- is it normal for a new car to need a valve adjustment after only 25K miles? and isn't that a warranty thing? I'm excited to get the outragous shop bill for what was supposed to be an oil and filter change service. I've only had the thing one year.
Anyways, right next door is a place that sells porsches. I am still surprised at how small they are. I saw a really nice RS that i liked alot and was actually not as expensive as I thought it would be. only thing is, it was a 2001 GT3 RS  that thing was bad a$$.
going up to sweden today with the first load of stuff for the cottage. we're going to stay over and make a run to Ostersund, the closest place with proper building supplies stores where things are quite a bit cheaper than in norway. |
I would say that is unusual. Most engines have hydraulic valve lifters. My El Camino has 279,000 miles and the valves have NEVER been adjusted, they don't need to be adjusted.
I have no idea what type of valves lifters a Honda engine uses but I can't imagine it has solid lifters. Look in your owners manual. See if there is any mention of valve adjustment in there.
If the repair shop you are using tells you the muffler bearings need to be replaced and your taillight fluid was low and they topped it off you will know for sure they are scamming you.
