92-95 Civic Helms - Valve Adjustment HELP
Hey can somebody with a 92-95 civic helms manual help me out?
I need the specs on the valve adjustment for my 92 civic DX (D15b7) motor. If anybody can get me the instructional pages from the Helms manual on how to do it it would be greatly appreciated too! Thanks in advance

For a B18C:

It's the same process for a D series, except you don't need a special tool, just a flathead screwdriver, 10mm box-end wrench, and the appropriate feeler gauges. Follow the valve lash specs that are printed on the sticker on the underside of your hood. Valve lash specs might also be in your owner's manual. 6th gen D16Y valve lash is:
intake: 0.18-0.22mm(0.007-0.009in)
exhaust: 0.23-0.27mm(0.009-0.011in)
I would expect 5th gen D series specs to be similar, but doublecheck that sticker on your hood.

intake .020mm
exhaust is .025mm
i adjusted my valves to the specs on the hood. they rattled worse. it seemed to be at a zero degree valve lash before i adjusted because the feeler gauges .020 and .025 wouldn't fit.
none would fit. .000 on the intake and .005 on the exhaust was probably set. then again, i bought the car used and you could tell the previous owner was hooking it up, because it still had a front lip and custom fog lights. all brand new OEM parts in the suspension, air flow box, and valve cover. I think i have a high lift cam and i don't know another reason why stock specs are obiously wrong.
I have the chilton pages on the "how to" for 92-95 civics/del sols.
