i have been hearing some ticking noise comeing from my engine. i'm assuming valvespring height needs to be checked. can someone give me the specs for the intake and exhaust valve springs on a b16a?

 

Honestly I went to look for my book so I could tell you, I couldn't find it, but then I started thinking to myself that you should have a book too. So the moral of the story is please don't try to adjust the valve clearances without a book or manual of some sort. I gaurantee it will make the job go 100% smoother, and you will know what you are doing. Good luck!

 

Straight from helms for a b16a engine:

Intake: 0.15 - 0.19mm (0.006 - 0.007 in)
Exhaust: 0.17 - 0.21mm (0.007 - 0.008 in)



Might want to lookup a how-to for this as well, you arent adjusting valvespring height, your adjusting valve lash, or basically the free play between the rocker arm and valve stem.

 

thanks. i only have a helms for the old d15. i haven't gotten one yet for the b16a. i've done it on a sohc before. it shouldn't be much different on dohc. i just wanted to double check the specs.
