After doing the adjustment the first time set the valve specs .006 intake .007 exhaust and started it up and now theres alot of clacking noises on idle and driving. I made sure the motor was cold I cant understand where a problem might have occured. I just finished doing the adjustment 3 times. Can anyone help??
the manual says there should be a slight drag. anyone who has alot of experience adjusting valves please help. I hope nothing major has happened. Thanks guys

 

r u sure u tightened them down enough? usually a clacking sound indicates a loose valve.

 

thats what im stuck on im not sure how tight it needs to be. It felt like it had a slight drag to it. i can loosen or tighten it and i still feel a slight drag. anything else?
thanks again guys

Im my helms manual it says the lock bolts have 13ft/lbs of torque for the d16Y8 engine, i cant imagine y it would b any different on a B16 tho.

 

what about when you use the feeler and drag it back and forth does anyone kno if its suppose to feel a lil bit on the tight side? or should it glide back and forth with ease.

 

u sure you did it in the correct order. its suppose to be 1, 3, 4, 2 and you have to put the cylinder to TDC before you adjust the valves

 

i started by setting the crank to tdc adjusted #1 cylinder then cylinder#3 turned the up marks to the 9 o'clock pos, then #4 turned the up marks to 6'oclock, then #2 turned to 3'oclock pos. i assume this is the correct order please correct me if this is wrong. thanks
