ok adjusted my valves to spec, (97' b18c1) .006 on intake, .007 on exhaust was a little tight and missing a little so i put them at .007 and .008... Anyways problem lies in the idle... when i start it the idle is so rough! Could it be that they are still to tight? Any help is appreciated.

 

anybody got suggestions??? its just when its cold, once warm idles smooth.

 

Were the valves adjusted when the car was cold? Also, it depends on your technique, how much lag on the feeler gauge is a hard thing to teach and learn. Eveyone will perform a valve adjustment a little differently because everyones concept of slight grag on a feeler gauge is different.

 

yep was cold, i'm gonna try the trick of one size bigger won't fit technique, hopefully that will help out...

 

did you read the faq about valve adjustment? just in case you didn't here. tools temp how to another how to. hope this helps you along some.

 

yeah I read it...
