What are the valve specs for the intake and exhaust sides for a 97 accord?


Thanks,

For 98 and 99 Accords;
Intake
Four cylinder engine----- 0.009-0.011"
Six cylinder engine-------0.008-0.009"
Exhaust----------------------0.011-0.013"

Sorry I don't the specs on a 97. Probably didn't help much huh?

For 1997 Accord(doesn't say for F22b2 or F22b1, but they probably the same...):

Valve Clearance:
Intake: 0.24 - 0.28 in (0.009 - 0.011 mm)
Exhaust: 0.28 - 0.32 in (0.011 - 0.013 mm)

Valve Stem Outside Diameter:
Intake: 5.485 - 5.495 in (0.2159 - 0.2163 mm)
Exhaust: 5.450 - 5.460 in (0.2164 - 0.2150 mm)

Valve Stem-to-guide Clearance:
Intake: 0.020 - 0.045 in (0.0008 - 0.0018 mm)
Exhaust: 0.055 - 0.080 in (0.0022 - 0.0031 mm)

I know u only need the clearence part, but the rest is semi useful as well......

Thanks fellaz, yeah I only needed the clearance. I did the valve adjustment .010 on the intake side and .012 on the exhaust but it seems to tap even louder now. I'll check again in the morning to see if their out of place. If not should I go .011 on the intake and .013 on the exh...?
