does this mean they are too tight or to loose?

my Dohc ZC was ticing so i did a valve ajdustment and set the intake side to .005 and the exhaust side to .006 and now the valves tic even louder.....i am 100% sure the car was cold i let it sit over night...this was my first time doing this and i plan on doing it again because of the ticing but was wondering ...if a valve tics is this because they are too tight or to loose? i may have just messed up doing it..

 

I think it's too tight. I thought it was .006 for intake nd .008 for exhaust...but I don't remember so don't use those numbers. Wait for someone who is sure.

 

anyone know if the .005 intake and .006 for exhaust is correct?

 

those are defineitly too tight, hold on and ill give you the right ones

 

i was thinking of the sohc , DOHC is
in: .005-.007 in
ex: .006- .007 in

 

well does anyone know for sure if its cause its too tight or too loose?

 

those directly are from the crx shop manuel

 

ya i have that manual too but i wanna know for future reference..... cause if valves tic when they are too tight then obviously i did mine to tight

i was told they tic if they are too loose and those number seem really small. my civic as the lash adjustment number right on the hood. look there
