2008 TL-S Valve Adjustment

Does anyone know the thickness of the feeler gauges for an 08 tl-s, i found the ones for an 04 3.2 but have yet to find any specs for an 08 3.5. Here's the link for the 04 scans https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...-scans-714317/

Thanks

It should have the specs on the hood.

That, or go to an acura dealership and ask the service department. I did that before and they told me without issue.

Just checked, the service manual doesn't specify a different valve clearance for the J35. It should be the same as the J32.

Oh believe me I've looked at every sticker around and found nothing. Even searched before posting

A few things to help out anyone that is searching up valve adjustment, to make things easier....

- Feeler gauges you'll need are .009 and .012 (Bought mine at Sears $9)
- Invest in the "10mm Honda Jam Nut Valve Adjustment Tool" will make things easier
- Make sure you triple check installing or plugging everything back together

I made the mistake of leaving my top 3 injectors unplugged, car felt like crap. The car itself felt good but now it feels great
