I can't help you as far as getting under the cover, but once you are there, I wrote this awesome valve adjustment thread for the K24.

Make sure to check the clearance specifications for your specific engine.

Can't help you there, other than to suggest to spray lots of penetrating oil on those bolts before attempting..

Possibly, you would have to plug in a OBD II reader of some sort and look at the real coolant temperature. Back when my nissan maxima's thermostat stuck open, the coolant temp would never exceed 150 degrees.

Also can't really help you there. Don't expect a previously comfy tire to remain comfy at 50 psi. A quiet tire however probably will remain quiet at those pressures.
