I am going to be adjusting the valves on my integra its a 96 LS special. B18B1 motor. I know about adjusting them I just wanted to know the tolerance gap i.e. on an H23 prelude its .003 intake and .006 exhaust and the pistons are 4-3-2-1, is it the same on the B18B1??? Thank You very much!

 

Yes, assuming you have ABS, all ABS equipped B-series axles should work fine.

If your car isn't OBD0 or OBD1, you don't have a FITV. Try checking the IACV and cleaning it out. If in fact your FITV is shot, you will probably have to check the dealership or a local parts yard.

Check the civic forum sticky. It will have a link to the PDF along with other very useful links.

 

could the FITV be the culprit for a low idle at startup/when the car is cold? Also, are all the brake calipers the same for 3rd gen tegs, or is there a difference between trim levels (i.e ls vs. gsr)?

hey this is kinda a wierd but i changed my tranny fluid,clutch,and motor oil. and well the car runs fine but when i shift to 3rd and 5th it grinds pretty bad and its never done this b4 i used mobil 1 10w-30 for the tranny..im thinking this is the problem?thanks for any help

 

- 2001 GS-r - When the Mnt Reqd light flashes, then after a while stays on, is that saying that Honda/Acura wants money cause nothing is wrong with the car? Because i never go to the maintence, or could there actually be something wrong with the car that i'm unaware of at the moment? As of now i have around 44,300 miles.

 

you changed your clutch, or clutch fluid? maybe you should try bleeding your clutch fluid? and honestly i would go with honda mtf for your tranny fluid. nothing works better.

 

Does the same go for a 1995 Teg??

 

I read that it may not be good to use other power steerig fluids besides Honda PS fluid. Is there really any truth to this? I have a pain-in-the-ass power steering leak and i've been having to get a bottle every week or so. I was getting it from the acura dealership but now I don't live very close to there so I've just been using what they sell at Autozone. Is that stuff ok to use or what?

 

lizzie - yes.
red94teg - not sure, but i'd say worry about your leak first, then be picky about what fluid to use. better to run the wrong fluid than to run it dry.
