it was, and it's called failure to follow the shop manual.
the '
-'
elite manual i have calls for the valves to be adjusted cold (ambient<95F) on a non running engine.the '89 manual i found online makes no mention of the running method.
i haven't been able to find any official word from honda motors regarding the running method.
i know this, if a manufacturer says to do something in the manual like adjust the valves on a cold no running engine, and you decide to adjust them while it's running, then said manufacturer is not under any obligation to fix any damage cause by your mcgyveresque procedures.
like i said, the '
-' elite manual makes no mention of the running method, nor does the later '89 manual.
