Watch as I figure out how to do a valve adjustment on a 2009 RDX. My cousin was not clear what was happening when the car wasn’t starting after it had already been running and up to temp, I thought she meant it was cranking like it had low compression or was flooded (my element did that when the valves were out of adjustment). Turns out the starter must have a dead spot and randomly won’t crank, and I did all this work for basically nothing. The exhaust valves were about a 1/2 turn too tight so It’s good I adjusted them, but that didn’t fix the starting problem.

Taking that valve cover was a real pita for me.
