It takes max 1 hour labour so expect about a $100 charge if a mech does it (should take a pro about 30 minutes, or 1-2 hours for a n00b).
A Honda dealer would charge a considerable amount more, but you can pretty much guarantee the job will be done properly.
Or you can do it yourself if you are game. Its not that hard to do once you know how. My mech cheated and stuffed the clearances up (he only rotated the engine once 360 degrees), so I had to fix it up myself lol.
Buy a spacer gauge set for ~$15 and some gasket sealant and an socket extension at an autoshop, find out which size spacer to use for your engine model, remove the top engine cover, rotate the engine to TDC, check and adjust four tappets, then rotate the engine 180 degrees and check the next four, rotate another 180 and adjust, then once more. Then apply new sealant around the sharp curves of the rocker cover and put it back on.
Buy a Haynes workshop manual for your car model and follow the instructions ftw.
ps. Found a DIY by ECU-MAN: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ghlight=tappet
