My car is getting close to 25k miles. Ive not noticed any tapping sounds from the engine bay, but there is a tiny bit of hesitation when accelerating I noticed. I was wondering if its worth getting valve clearance done anyway? I heard it could improve economy and a bit of extra power.

Thanks

Its a Honda K20 engine, I think they use mechanical followers.

I thought that they actually moved quite a bit on Honda engines, especially the high revving ones.

If I can get it done for a decent price, I think am going to get them done. Doubt it will make things worse anyway only better.
