Tired of seeing people adjusting thier valve's in the wrong location? I freakn am so i made a quik diagram on photshop for you kids that keep adjusting in between the rocker adjuster and actual valve and not in between the cam lobe and rocker
argggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh!!!!!

6/ intake 7/ exhuast on all OEM cams including R's
7/ Intake 8/ Exhaust For after market large lift race cams

Here ya go



dont forget your speacial tool from the snap on guy or this might be a lilttle ruff

Good Luck

 

good job buddy, thats the way i always adjust my valves

 

who the hell sets the lash at the adjustent screw?? You would think if you're bright enough to adjust them then you're bright enough to do it right.

 

In the pic i only see 4 valve springs on the exhaust side what the???

 

Honestly I've never seen it done between the rocker and cam lobe. Guess I'll have to try this out next time I set mine. I've never had any problems doing it between the valve stem and adjustment screw.

I would like to know the reasoning / theory for doing it this way?
Any document that I have read related to this procedure states to place the feeler gauge between the adjustment screw and valve?

 

Rocker ratio is why, lash will be way different @ the valve tip.


K-series are measured between the adjuster and valve tip but not b or h series.

 

Ah good to know.

That would be why I've never seen it demonstrated that way, I'm used to the F series.

 

I think the B18 LS and H23 heads are also measured between the cam and rocker.

i thought the same thing, but if you look into #3 there is the top of an adjusting screw.

dude ive seen it here too many times i just had to set the record straight!

youll see watch!

 

any reason why it needs to be checked on the backside of the rocker and not the front?

 

its easier to adjust screw when there is no valve lash in the way no particular reason just my preference been doing it like that for like 9 years

Accord motors are not the same. The service procedures for Accord motors is to adjust the lash at the adjustment screw. But for DOHC honda motors it should be done at the cam. So you were doing it correct with your accord motor. (Any documents stating other wise are false.)

 

D series also call for the adjustment to be made between the valve stem and the adjustment screw.

you have been...your motor is still not running LOL!!!! jk dude...where you been at???

 

Huh, good info! I've only ever done it on the D-series, but I'll be making the jump to B soon, so this will come in handy.

I can assume it is done the same regardless of whether the head has vtec or not?

 

I put the feeler gauge there and adjust the screw till it feel "right", lock it.... then slide the feeler back and forth to see if it has the right about of "drag/resistance" then off to the next.
