i just built my first motor (b20z2) and i adjusted the valves at .008mm intake and .016mm exhaust. motor runs perfect but the head is WAY too loud. sounds like the rocker arms are as lose as can be. any suggestions. thanks

 

your engine didnt run for long time, thats why i hear all that crap... don worry about it

 

excuse me? i dont understand what you mean.

I do not know the stock specs for that engine offhand. But if that clearances are in inches, not mm, the 0.016" seems large. Have you looked in the Helm manual?

 

idk. you might be right. look here. page 27 section 6 http://powweb.hondahookup.com/...v.pdf

 

From page 6-3 of that manual:
Intake: 0.003-0.005"
Exhaust: 0.006-0.008"

Your mm specs are correct, but did you use metric feeler gauges or did you adjust them to inches?

 

the feelers i used say


.008 (.203)
.010 (.254) for the intake

.016 (.406)
.018 (.457) on exhaust.

dont know if that answers your question.

The first number is inches. The number in parentheses is mm. Your valves are too loose. It's an easy fix.

 

bad ***. so with these feelers i use the

.003 for intake
.006 for exhaust?????

thanks man. will i gain a bit more on the performence side with them adjusted correctly? kida feels like my old b20b
