Pretty much what the title says. I'm due for a valve adjustment today, so what have you guys had better luck with in terms of lash settings?

Thanks in advance.

I run a tiny bit loose. .008, .007.

 

Stock lash...0.007 intake and 0.007 exhaust......
Otherwise, it just gets too damn noisy, and I want to use all the lift of my JUN 3's

Let me add that the motor is 100% stock internally.

Does anyone run a tad on the tight side?

Anyone else try some different settings and see pros and cons?

 

What about running Cyls 2 and 3 a bit tighter than 1 and 4 to help with cooling? I thought I've read of people doing that...

 

.2mm all around.

 

Ken always did like them loose.

I use stock settings.

OMG!

You guys want to hear something really funny?

I bought the whole totalled ITR and drove on the motor for a total of 3 months now, so i decided to do the tune-up thing.

Guess what kind of plugs it had in it?

AUTOLITE!!!

In addition to the dope plugs it had in it, it also had some Hong-Kong rotor button too.

Before you guys give me the the motor made 175whp and 123ft/lbs. of torque with only an AEM CAI for 99 Si, Tanabe Exhaust for 1992 Civic (the motor's in a Civic), and a kenji-spec P28. Also it ran a 13.3 in my CX at 1100ft. above sea level, so the last thing I thought I would find would be some total **** plugs.

Perhaps with the valve adjustment and the NGK (Honda) plugs it could make some more whp than 175?

 

That reminds me, I have to get a set of B18C spark plug wires. I'm sure the Cx wires I've been using aren't optimum.

Reid - who wishes this was one of his lighthearted posts...

 

Oh yeah, I must say that the motor baselined at 175whp, and there was no tuning done because I was just there for baselines.

The cam gears were set at +2 intake and -1 exhaust because my old B18C1 made best power there, so who knows? I might not even have an optimum cam setting for the motor.

:hammern me for not swapping out the plugs when I got the motor, but he had just had a tune-up done (God only knows where because of the ****-parts in it!) so I figured it was all good because the guy had tons of money.
