I did a valve adjustment last night on the CX stock motor. I looked at the Helms and it shows the feeler gauge being used in between the rocker arm and the valve, as opposed to the rocker arm and the cam lobe. So I adjusted the valves just like in the Helms manual, between the rocker arm and valve. Is this the correct method with this motor? I've been told to always set lash between the cam lobe and rocker arm, but I couldn't even get the feeler gauge in there (when that cylinder was at TDC). And advice guys?

 

You did it right. Use the Cam lobes for Integras. Did you have to adjust them much?

 

A couple of intake valves were a little loose. The exhaust valves were all very loose. I just picked up the car and it appears to have been neglected for the most part. Well, not anymore!

 

can someone tell me the clearance specs for a 1st gen b16a?

i searched and found only stuff for d16's and such.
