I picked-up a set of Blox B (tuner spec), it came with a paper that gave some suggestions on valve adjustments and cam gear settings. I have a fully built b16a3 head, full Skunk2 valve train(flat valves, tit. retainers, dual springs, head shaved .030 I think, port and polished 3 angle valve job, b18c5 bottom end with AO-p73 bored.25 over). I have the valves set at .007 intake and .006 exhaust, the paper suggests that i put them at .008 intake and .009 exhaust. Should I put them with what the paper says or leave them the way the are, the car is running the way i set them(breaking it in has about 10 miles on set up since it was put together) don't want to drive it with out more input from more people. Some say leave it the way it is, others says change it to what paper says. And the paper also suggests I set my intake cam gear to +1-2 degrees,it is set at 0 right now. Could use some more info before i put more miles on it. Thanks for help, suggestions, and input.

 

79 views and no suggestions, WOW

 

why wouldnt you go with the spec sheet if it came with one.

as for the cam setting, i went with the one that came with my bloxC. it was pretty dead on

 

Hey man,
I see this thread was from a few months ago, but I definitely would go with the spec sheet. The the cam gear setting is not a big deal. That will only possibly give you a few hp.
The proper valve lash setting could mean the difference between a reliably running engine or burned valves and a cylinder head rebuild if set wrong.
If uncertain about the valve lash tolerance, always err on the larger value(s); this will ensure a margin of safety for the motor. Again, if you set them a bit loose, the valves train will be noisy. If you set them too tight, you'll burn the valves and have to rebuild your top end.
Also typically when you go to a higher lift, greater overlap cam the valve lash setting goes up.
Hopefully you did the right thing. Good luck!

 

By the way, how are those Blox cams working out?
Have they been reliable? Powerful?

 

i have bloxC for a few months now with no problems i went from 192whp ctr cams to 219 BloxC

 

Is that all you changed? Just the cams and a new tune?

 

yep

old tune was with jeff evans
retune with cams was done by j-k-tuning.com

 

are these the tuner or competition type c's? im gonna run these in my setup and want to figure out which one is best... the tuner or competition or if there pretty much the same.

 

Komat...tuner Type Cs?

What is the suggested valve lash for them btw...I got mine 3 weeks ago, and no paper in side :-(

 

tuner and comp type c are the same spec

valve lash is listed above

but my is the tuner type c

i think they discont. the comp type c. which was replace by the tuner C. i made a thread a while ago about this before i got my cams

 

alright kool... after the tune what was vtec set at? if u dont mind me askin.

 

5500rpm

 

Very impressive. Those Jun 3 profile cams are always hard to beat on the 1.8 it seems.

 

i wanted to get pro1s but couldnt find a used set intime for my dyno

 

i also just picked up some blox bs, and when i did my valve lash 6intake 7exhaust my car didnt want to stay on.. i then switched that to 8intake 9exhaust, it stayed on but seemed like they were making too much noise..

any suggestions

how does yours sound mr I-95

 

mine are 8 and 9 and yea its noisy somewhat at idle but it runs good. I wouldn't wanna risk running it too tight.

 

alright then so thats how they are supposed to sound right... cuz i wasnt sure.. thanks.
