Any one know what the clearence is supposed to be?? I have a B16 Vtec head w/ Type R cams. I think it's 007mm intake and 008mm exhaust.

Is that right??

 

006-007 intake, 007-008 on exhaust

 

thanks

 

ok

i did .006 intake and .007 exhaust

now she smokes like a champ??? what should i do? i also hear a clattering noise when i stomp on the throttle at low rpm's, the noise goes away once vtech kicks in???

 

oh, and the car runs pretty rough also...

The correct clearances are:

IN 0.006" - 0.007"
EX 0.007" - 0.008"

If you are measuring in metric, the specifications are:

IN 0.15mm - 0.19mm
EX 0.17mm - 0.21mm

Where did you slide your feeler gague?

 

ok, so i did .006 all the across the intake side and .007 all the way cross the exhaust side. is that right? i slide my feeler gauge between the bottom of the cam lobe and the rocker...

i just took it for a drive, the smoke seemed to stop after a while, but still clatters and runs rough.

 

try going 007 in 008 exhaust, it sounds like your valve lash is to tight

 

some one told me that the clattering noise is pre-detnation caused by timming being off, too much compression, or cylanders running alittle hot...
also smells like lots of fuel coming out the exhaust. and carbon crap splashes out at startup.

but that would have nothing to do with your car and all those symptoms..

 

what timming belt should I be using? Right now it's a LS timmimg belt. Should I be using a vtec timming beld?

if you are using the ls water pump, you use the ls belt, if you are using a vtec waterpump, you use the gsr/itr belt

 

I'm going to get my car tuned with Hondata.

 

I think the clattering sound occurs when the valves are loose.

 

No, its when you detonate. My Ecu isn't tuned for Type R internals. Timming is off and air/ fuel is off. Hope the hondata fixes every thing. After I get it tuned, I'm going to post the results. Wish me luck
