Valve adjustment

Has anyone had their valves adjusted yet? My '04 has 38500 miles and Sat I noticed how noisey my valves were. The mainatenace schedule states inspect at 110,000 miles and adjust if necessary. Oil level was good. I have always used Premium gas and all service done at dealer. Since I am under the warranty period should this adjustment come from my pocket or should it be covered?

I've had them done on my car once at around 60,000 miles.

It's considered as maintenance, so they usually don't cover it under warranty.

Sauceman is correct. This is considered as maintainance, not warranty work. Your valves should not be noisy at this mileage. If you want to make yourself feel better, you can have a tech at the dealer stick his head under your hood. K-series engines do not have the heads and the valves torqued down the same way as traditional Honda engines as they are degree torqued instead. This is a little different than just torquing them down to a certain gap.
