water pump, plugs wires, compression test, leakdown test, check alternator for volts, and amps. I’d probably do an alternator belt aswell.

plugs, wires, cap and rotor if it has a distributor, coil, timing belt, pcv valve, check the cats for breakage/blockage, O2 sensors. check your cabin filter, replace it or if it’s synthetic clean it. If it’s an automatic drop that pan. etc, etc.

WTF? a compresion check, why would you do that. the ony time I would do a compression check is if I had a problem or if i was going to boost a certain taurus.

are alt’s a common failure on theses cars?

i dont’ know hondas but on the SHO typical maintnance would be timing belt, plugs, wires, and adjust the valve lash. everything beyond that is a waste of money unless you are having problems. on the SHO a bad water pump will cause a CPS failure but i don’t think thats the case on hondas. oh and if you hav a manual 100K is usually the time where you make a drain plug for your manual transmission so you can change your fluid, if you have a ATX SHO you have likely replaced the tranny already so you don’t need to change the fluid 🙂

Valve Adjustment. Its prolly ticking like every other Honda does.

I’d just stick with a leakdown test 1st. They can almost tell you where your problems are. If a cyl. does bad on a leakdown then I’d comp. test it. Otherwise i would skip it.
