valve adjustment and spark plug wires

When did you guys do your valve adjustment (mileage reading) and when did you replace your spark plug wires? Is there a specific time that Honda/Acura recommends?

Thanks, guys!

Well, just had my 45,000 Mile service. This Service included the valve adjustment and i paid $103.00.

I was informed that Acura recently changed maintenance schedules. Thus , besides my routine oil change, my next scheduled maintenance will be at 60,000. The 60,000 mile service includes the change of spark plugs. It will cost $336.00, so i was told!

just got mine done, went from sounding like a diesel engine back to normal. said all the intakes were too tight and all the exhausts were too loose or maybe it was reverse that but he said that situation comes from high rpms.
