Default F18B series engines - Valve Adjustment

Hi,
This is a question about valve clearance adjustment for the F18B series engines. What are the values to be used?

In the FAQ section there are 3 topis about the H22 / F22 engines and values are given as:

Intake: 024 ~ 028 mm
Exaust: 028 ~ 032 mm

Are these values the same for the 1.8 l engines?

Most documentation on the net is about the 2l or 2.2 l engines. There is not much about the 1.8

Thank you

Yes that is correct: for the F18B/F20B/F23Z the Honda shop manual says

intake: 0,26 mm +- 0,02 mm
exhaust: 0,30 mm +- 0,02 mm

which are the exact figures you have.

Valve adjustment is easy: just a screwdriver and wrench and a lot of time...

Sorry for necroing old thread but this is false and I reply just because this got up as first thing when searching F18 valve lash.

Intake 0.20mm
Exhaust 0.22mm

I tried values above and valves were ticking like crazy (F18B2)
