Anything else I should look at?

CHANGE;

1. Engine oil and filter

2. Engine air filter

3. Cabin air filter

4. Spark plugs

5. Timing belt & tensioner

6. Water pump & radiator coolant

7. Transmission oil (drain/refill) DO NOT FLUSH

8. Accessory drive belt

CHECK;

1. Front & rear suspension (shocks, bushings & mounting points.)

2. PCV valve

3. EGR valve

Not going to deal with checking the valves. Idle is smooth with just a touch of ticking.

I would check your valves. you can hear loose valves but you dont hear tight ones.
I know im gonna be taking my intake manifold apart to clean the whole thing. its not too hard. but other then that, looks like you got everything.
Also a 3x3 drain and fill is better then just 1 drain and fill. thats what im gonna go. not damaging like a flush but you get like 90% of the fluid out.
plus what chuck said.

Dan

It's done. Seat of the pants dyno says it runs better.

how much did it cost? dealer or private shop?

Dan

Private shop. $462.95 labor and $548.91 in parts.
Additional service of decarbonizing throttle body and a injection flush included in the above costs.

coulda seafoamed it for 7 bucks DIY. but if they did it for free, then i wouldnt complain. Did you do the valves?

Dan

No, very slight valve ticking and a VERY smooth idle. Wrench has been doing Hondas/Acuras for 15+ years and said don't do it. He says tight valves will affect idle. If I chose wrong, it will just give me an excuse to get the GS350 I have been lusting after.
