Question Helms Manual

Which one do I purchase for information on performing overhauling, such as valve adjustments, time belt replacement, etc. On their site I am unsure which product to purchase, and wanted to check her before buying the wrong manual. Thank you.

Personally, I have the '01-03 Acura 3.2CL Service Manual and it's got everything in it (published by Honda Motor Company).

And where do I obtain that from? I have the service manual for my 02 Accord, but can't find where to buy the Acura edition.

If you've got a Helm's manual for a V6 accord, it should give you most information you'll need. It's not exact but it's close enough if you're just using it for general maintenance.

For now I need to adjust my valves, and I don't think the gapping specs are the same. If someone can scan the page on the valve adjustment for the cl-s6 I would really appreciate it.

But, you're probably better off buying used if you can. I paid 75.95 for mine with shipping from helms, as there weren't any used ones out there back in 2002.

Yeah, they are the same... My Helms front cover reads "Service Manual 01-03"

Some of the older ones (printed in 01-02) might not have the 6spd info in it, but the one BlueCLS6 has should since he has a 6spd....

edit: Helms is the original OEM supplier of the manuals for Honda/Acura and a bunch of other car makers...

You can get your original owners manual from them, the service manual , and there is also an electrical manual too...
