ok, so i did a valve adjustment this weekend

get done, button it up, sounds perfect... no ticking. great.

so, i go out, warm it up normally, rip on it a bit. come back into the garage.... tick tick tick. sounds just like it did before the adjustment. WTF? same thing this morning after all is cooled down. tick tick tick. sounds like a ****** diesel.

engine is JDM H22a

specs are:
.006-.007 intake
.007-.008 exhaust

three intake valves were a bit tight. so, i set them to .007. all others were at .007

any ideas?

 

ideas?

 

When the engine is cold and you start it, does it still tick?

perhaps you adjusted it on the "looser" side of the specs you were aiming at. The valve lash migh expand out from being heated up

 

Are you sure it not the injectors maybe? It really common in Honda.

i'm going to set them to .006 intake tonight and see what that does
