Honda is telling me that I should have them perform a $250 valve adjustment
on my 99 Accord V6 in addition to the $780 timing belt replacement that I'm
having done today.  The odometer reads 88K miles.  Is the valve adjustment
really worth $250?  Is it something I should attempt myself?  (I have always
adjusted the valves myself on my old Toyota 4cyl pickup).  I told them to
hold off on the valve adjustment for now.
TIA,
M.Paul

The valve adjustment should only cost you a little in labour, alot of
duplication when doing the t-belt.

What does your owner's manual say?  The manual for our '03 Accord says
to have the valves adjusted only if they get noisy.

The dealer is trying to screw you.
