im not sure of the spec exactly, but for my b16, valve on the intake side are .007in to .009in, and the exhuast is .009in to .011in.
tighten them down so that they are hand tight and dont wobble or nothing.

helms might have it but chilton doesnt and they tighten the valves by hand but ur best bet is to just take it to honda shouldnt take them more than a couple minutes to adjust.

I dont think a local shop would know what gauges to use honestly honda's the best bet it shouldnt cost much maybe nothing at all if there generouse its just a simple process of turning a screw driver.
