thanks for the link..... so are all d15 valve clearances .18 (.007) in. and .23 (.009) exhaust?

i'm also about to do this... i get setting tdc for cylinder one, it being straight up, but how do you get it perfectly accurate especially when trying to turn it exactly 90degrees for cylinder3, etc...?

i did my valve adjustment and WTF... all my exhaust valves were set at .005

so i backed them all out to .009... seems like it runs a little smoother

was your engine cold when you did your adjustment?

i let it cool down for 2 hours, it was a little warm i think, why?

ridin98civic

the write up says one hundred degrees or cooler, but my buddy just had his car at the local import shop for a valve adjustment and they told him to drop it off the night before because it needed to be completely cold. i dunno i was just curious.

edit: my take on it would be if the metal is even slightly hot and expanded it could throw off such a small measurement of .007 and .009

liquid:cooled

yea i problaly shold have let it cool down a bit longer... but they were .005... so i backed it out to .009 and i wonder if im going to have a loose valve now...................
