how to adjust valve's..
 

it probably takesa shop to do it but what tool's an how does a shop do it.. is there a site that explains howi t's done? tryin to learn more shit about motors..

thanks that anwsers alot but what causes thing's like to go off?? how do you know if there off in your motor, what does the motor do??

things wear over time, they just need to be adjusted. for the d15b7 you need a flathead and a 10mm wrench as well as feeler gauge .007-.009mm, .007mm intake .009 exhaust I believe is the spec.

I bought the tool from Snap-On. Makes life alot easier.

I love it, I can do all the valve adjustment so much quicker with it.

I've got a d15b7 (N/A) as well, and had some mixed results when I adjusted my valves. I got the valve cover/gasket off, cleaned, etc.; stuck a socket/extension through the front/driver-side wheel well, rotated the crankshaft counter-clockwise to bring cyl. 1 to TDC, and adjusted the corresponding intake and exhaust valves.
The next step, accoring to my Haynes manual (a.k.a. shit-book filled with lies) was to use the aligning marks on the flywheel to bring cyl. 2 to TDC.

...?

I scoured the engine bay for several hours over 2 days looking for this mysterious piece of metal with no success. I can't imagine a valve-adjustment job requires the removal of the clutch...? I've tried Helms, Haynes, Honda, and Google so far. Where is the alignment-mark "window" into the flywheel?

Some cars have a small "window" that is cut in the tranny, and you can see the flywheel. If someone ever changed out ur tranny to a diff one without a window, there wont be one.
I have seen the windows before, my friends H23 has one.

Thanks for the reply; I hadn't thought of a previous-owner tranny swap. In terms of aligning the other 3 cylinders for TDC, would it be a reasonable solution to take off the timing belt cover, and use the (theoretically) now visible cam gear for TDC reference?

i dont got that motor.. i got gs-R... 94' but that site that first guy gave me was perfect... i just was womdering if your motor does something when there off?

you'd know if your valve adjustment was grossly inaccurate; anything from loss of power to detonation, or any other sudden changes since the adjustment would be good indicators that something was wrong
