How much does it cost to adjust the valve on a Honda e?

Why do you need a valve adjustment on a Honda?
The “noisy” criterion is only half the issue, that just means one or more have too much play, which might contribute to inefficiency. Too-tight valves (insufficient valve lash) will not be noisy yet are more likely to result in major problems such as a burnt valve, and may also cause MPG issues. 121,000 miles? Get a valve adjustment, basically.
