02 RSX Base K20a3 Valve Lash Specs
Not sure if this is correct but this is what is under the hood but everywhere online im looking is saying different. 2 sets of feeler gauges i own do not even go as low as 0.02 or do i go by the first number
You go by the first number. If you look close you will see a (+) and (-) in between the numbers which indicates a range of 0.02mm (+) or (-) from the first number.
So the intake valve lash range is: 0.21-0.25mm
And the exhaust valve lash range is: 0.28-0.32mm
Ideally you would use a feeler gauge in the middle of the range so it's easier to adjust properly without being too loose or too tight.
So try and use a feeler gauge as close to 0.23mm and 0.30mm as you can.
