I recently purchased a 92 EG sedan and it is in need of a valve adjustment

Upon searching i have found the clearances for the d15b7 are anywhere from .004 to .008 intake and .007 to .011 on the exhaust.

Heres my dilemma:

On the underside of the hood, the sticker from the factory states that the lash should be set at .002 intake and exhaust????(its the original motor/hood so im assuming this sticker is for this motor)

Can anyone help me resolve this? Thx!!!

call honda and ask them.
everything that i have seen its .004 and .007 not .002.

.008 intake

.010 exhaust

alot of hondas and i think all single cams have this same clearance

(note thes are INCHES)

cool. I set my h23vtec at 007 in and 009 ex. It ran like a dream. i am more familiar with DOHC, this is my first single.

Just wanna make sure so i only have to do this once!

there is a range

intake .007 - .009
exhaust .009 - .011

i just always pick the center of the two, and i usually adjust mine just a hair too tight, so im probably around the .007 and .009 range as well

i was alwasy told to either pick a number in the middle or the lowest....
and i think your right that most singles have the same clearence.

Cool, im glad i didnt adjust it to what the hood says...would have been tighter than a *****!!!
