Hi,
at the end of last season, i have notice black streak on exhaust port of the engine on my BF225 2003 with only 350h on it.
During my spark plug replacement i have also witness a bit of oil in the spark plug/coils tubes.
reading on this forum, i now think that the 2 issues are related. So before starting the season and putting the boat in the water, i wanted to do the following
1. Have the valve adjusted by a local honda mechanic
2. Since you need to remove the valve cover, i want to have the 6 spark plug tube seal

3. And while i am there, i might as well change the head cover head cover gasket
my problem is that good honda mechanics are hard to find here in Montreal,Quebec,Canada.
Last time i had problem with my VST float, i needed to do the troubleshooting myself and do the work myself also cause local mechanic only like to work on mercury. So with the help of you, i was able to fix the issue.
my questions are
a. how long does it take to have a good mechanic adjust the valves clearance in hours ?
b. should i do that myself. I guess there is a first to anything. I already removed the intake manifold and all around to get to the VST several time so i know how to get there and i have watched a couple of tutorial on youtube. Its not that complicated but i would for sure have a pro mechanic do it.
Just not sure if ill find one at the beggining of the season like that.
