****EDIT 2***** Well i had a check engine light to and i went to autozone today and had it read, well the car threw 7 codes 2 were the 02 sensors and then it said cyl 1,2,3,4 misfires then the last code was mulitple misfires, now i knew about the 02 sensor but these misfires were not on the computer before... wtf could be causing this now?? im getting really angry because i have to go to the track in a week with a big group that we organized and now it looks like my car wont ****** run!

*-*EDIT*-* Ok so i did the valve adjustment and checked the timing, everthing seems to be lined up and adjusting the timing at the distributer is all the way advanced and the cam gear is advanced 2 degrees..... the problem still is there is a little rattle in the valve train and the car is just a tad sluggish but once u fit 4000rpms it takes off like no other......what still could be causing this, we rechecked the timing and everything was TDC so we are baffled... i hate to take it to a shop but i might... please help!!*****

so i put a new timing belt, water pump, cam gear, and camshaft in my car today... I have a d16y8 and was installing a stage 1 comp cams camshaft and a aem camgear...so we look in the manual i have and it says "adjust the valves to 10 and 12" so we did but later on reading it said something about 8 and 10... I dont know what one it is supposed to be but we are getting a lot of noise rite now like a clatter noise sort of...so then we took it for a quick spin around the block and the other problem would come up and that is if you give it full throttle it would take off as if u were just tapping the gas..? So i guess my questions are what is the RITE valve specs and is that what could be causing the noise, and also what would make the car feel like it has no power at all under full throttle?

 

up for help

 

did you get all the supporting valve work? im getting cams and my friend told me to make sure i get all the supporting valve upgrades because if not it can actually deplete the car's performance... thats the only suggestion i can give you.

 

As long as you have it in time, It should run fine, even with the valvelash adjustment being a little outta wack. You Should have recieved a Spec. card with your camshaft. I know with my crower stage 1 cam for my d16y8 they recommend .006 on the intake side and .008 on the exhaust. All adjustments need to be done while its cold, im sure you know this already. Hope to hear some track times from it soon.

Forgot to mention, I went down to .007 on the exhaust side because i wasnt please with goign to .008(slight tapping still).

well what about the missfiring in all 4 cyl. thats messed up and u can feal it in the car.!! i may go lower on the valve noise, as soon as i adjusted them for the secound time it took away alot of the noise, what happens if you go to low on the valves?
