Are you talking about the valve for the small plungers?

I guess I'll jump the basher bandwagon...

It's VTEC not vtech, VTECH, v-tec or V-TEC. Simply VTEC. One word, no spaces, nothing.

oops my bad i know that lol darn proofreading. vtec honda vtech my kids toys
o well sorry bout that
when i went to adjust the valves i noticed that the ends of the tappets seemed to move indipendently of the screw i let them sit and adjusted so i had a slight drag
great still ticks

not sure some1 told me to try changing the adjusting tappets

I just wrote up something on my D16Y8 about valve problem. When I got the clearences to close I was getting more noise than when I did it to what the dealer recommended. The dealer recommended .20MM on the intake side and .23MM on the exhaust side.
