Hondas are the foremost for a good adjustment, a true valve adjustment on a worn in motor prooves wreckoning to some. make sure you are not hearing the valve seating .worn seats can clatter like no other. but honestly, i have done probally near a thousand valve jobs on honda, the way i suggest is the way I do it and never ever do I have valve noise and/or performance issues afterwards.

yes, ill have seconds.

 

also to ED9. you may have a perfect valve job and perfect seats. I suggest Plastiguaging the cam to berring lobe clearance accross the board, on of them over limit will exhaust suggested working pressure and cause a dry face setting to the rockers.

 

Welcome FATHONDA... Im glad ur helping a lot of members with ur knowledge!

 

Thanks for all the help. I will have to readjust the exhaust side. I set it to .011 just like my toyota 22RE. :doh:

 

and thank you for the welcome into the forum

 

sorry to ask a lame question but how are you measuring the lenghts

Intake: .0006-.0007"
Exhaust: .007-.008"

(Intake: .15-.19mm)
(Exhaust: .17-.21mm)

are you measuring the space after the nut on the bolt
or are you measuring the clearance between the head and the nut

 

The measurement is between the rocker arm and non-lobed side of the cam. The nut just adjusts where the rocker arm is situated on the end of the valve.

 

what is the best tool to measure with

its a pretty small measurement correct

 

A feeler gauge. They are available at any autoparts store and they provide a wide range of blades for measuring any sort of small clearances.

 

is there any picture i can look at or diagram showing this procedure so i can get a visual?
