this is my 1st time doin this and this is what i have so far...
at 0-0 i have .038
0I +1E i have .030
0I +2E i have .024
0I -1E ..........044
0I -2E..........048

my question is what measurements should i be looking for? do i have to so all 361 measurements...the cam gears go up to 9 advance and 9 retard...
i followed 12nv write up and it helped alot...this i how the set up looks like...

 

You don't have to do them all. You will start to see a pattern of what will work and what won't. Eliminated a bunch of combos. Like you don't need to test IN: +9 and EX: +9

 

i know if both cams move there no difference...but should i go up to 4,5,6 or 7 degrees...or is 2 and 3 enough...

 

All you need to know is what separation values are safe. it will be constant across the board

minimum separation that allows minimum desired clearance. Lest say if your looking for 0.30" you dont increase overlap more than 1 deg. example: 0/+1 or -1/0 or +2/+3 or -3/-2 etc it will all be the same v2v with 1 added degree of overlap

 

The larger values are where you tend to get into p2v issues.

 

ok i get it...i just need to know how much degree seperation is too much..so i should check my findings since i got 0 +2 at .024 but 0 -2 ar .048...they should be the same right...

 

No, at 0, +2 you have reduced the separation, at 0,-2 you increase separation. Any time you advance the exhaust cam or retard the intake cam you put the valves closer together.

 

I also wouldn't run any less than .030" v2v clearance at 0 lash, to be safe, personally.

 

Ima be doing this soon..whats the easiest way to lock the rockers together?..i know 12nv used a BB..What do you guys use?

 

i got a small bolt almost the size of a a bb... on one and a bb on the other cause i lost one..anything will work..a pebble, a tiny bolt...a bb is the easiest...

 

also does it matter that i have the lashed to spec? before i keep making measurements...

 

I've read you lash to .000.


What is that red cam lock looking tool?

 

Isn't it retarding the exhaust cam and advancing the intake on Hondas with counterclockwise rotation puts the valves closer together?

 

Yes.

 

putting the intake at a positive number and the exhaust at a negetive number will put the valves closer together. so yes, you are right.

Closer the exhaust is to the intake, the closer the valves..

+1/+1 is ideal 0/0...

I'd treat the bc4's like the pro2's.

the bc4's have the same vtec lobe as the s2s2's but bigger primaries.. not as big as the pro series though.

 

yes, you do all your v2v measurements at 0 lash.

 

Follow 00 Red SiR had mentioned but lashed them to spec after your measurements are done.

 

i had lashed them to spec cause i had a hard time getting them to 0 lash cause with the low tension springs the valve would stay open...im gonna go n start over on this and ill repost my findings

 

why is +1/+1 the ideal 0/0...i though if u moved both cams the same degrees and advance or retard the measurements would be them same...

 

I'm sure he meant identical as far as v2v goes.

 

auto correct > me

I mean indentical. Not ideal.

 

ok..thanks..just new to this and a lil confused but im getting it...

 

also am i right on my signs? is negative advance or retard?

 

Correct

 

this is confusing cause skunk2 tuner series have + advance and - for retard...and the pro series are - advance and + retard.....

so just to confirm if i retard(+) intake 1 and advance(-) exhaust 1..i should get tighter v2v..

and if i advance(-) intake 1 and retard(+) exhaust 1 then i get looser v2v..

i know it sounds retarded but there so much misinformation out there...some say retard is - and advance is + and other say the opposite...thats why i looked up sk2 cam gears..
