Valve adjustment and lug nut pattern

[CandiMan]

Good afternoon ladies/gents
Once agin I'm stopping by to find out a little info about one of our cars, it's a 96 Civic (bone stock) It's about time for a timing belt replacement and I was wondering if the valves are adjustable or do I have hyd lifters.

Also, are all the 4 lug bolts pattern the same for all Honda/Acura's. Any 4 lug bolt pattern will fit any other 4 lug bolt pattern, correct?

if youre doing the belt, might as well have the valves done as well...at least checked

MOST honda's share the same pattern (100), some are 114 (some accords and 4lug ITR) and they wont fit
Then there are the 5 lugs from crv, preludes, rsx, itr, ctr...prob another or two that I am forgetting

Thanks for the reply. For some reason I never got a email notification that someone replied and the email notification box was check. I kinda notice while driving on the street that some 4 lug pattern Honda wheels appeared to be larger than others, 100 versus 114. Good to know incase I ever decide to buy used wheels. I'll be doing the timing belt myself and now that I know there's a valve adjustment I'll remember to check and adjust if needed. Speaking of which, how do you guys feel about that manuals on CD's that are being sold on eBay?

Thanks, MIKE

I like my helms manual...I separated the massive thing into several smaller versions in 3ring binders
this way I can take each small section out to the car everytime and the binder protects it well
