hey tippy, i hear a typical prelude ticking but how do i know for sure if its from the valves or not. if it is from the valves i would like to attempt to do a valve job. i have lots of documention about my engine and am capable mechanically but i don't have someone to show me or tell me the procedue step by step, (or perhaps don't have the tools, i have access to your typical socket set). if you have the time would you be able to type up a small paragraph on the steps and perhaps the tools i could use to do the valve job? 2.3L prelude engine (1993 4ws lude)

thanks in advance for any responce

 

or if anbody knows for that matter.

 

it's in the Helms manual, buy one.

 

compared to a lot of people here I barely know anything and I was able to do valve job. I did one about 5 years ago so my

1. Manual, can find some online
2. Feeler gauges
3. Jack up the front driver side wheel and take the whell off so you can turn the engine top dead center
4. Loosen the nuts on valves and adjust it so the feeler gauges fits exactly in there
5. Tighten them up and put everything back together.

 

if you need the helms manual let me know
