I will be performing a valve adjustment on my 2016 CRV with K24W9 Earth Dreams engine. I have spent this morning researching HondaTech and the internet for the jam nut torque value and the valve clearance. I find other K24 engine values, but not for the K24W9 engine. Perhaps they are the same? I found a torque value of 14 lbf-ft on intake valves and 10 lbf-ft on the exhaust valves. And 9 - 11 mm on the intake valves and 11 - 13 mm on the exhaust valves. are these values correct? Thanks your for time.

 

Valve Clearance

Intake:

0.21－0.25 mm (0.009－0.009 in)

Exhaust:

0.25－0.29 mm (0.010－0.011 in)

Locknut Specified Torque:

14 N·m (1.4 kgf·m, 10 lbf·ft)

Apply new engine oil to the nut threads.

 

Thanks again Tech8. Your responses are quicker than a hiccup. To verify, the maximum intake valve clearance is 10 mm?

 

0.25 mm, not 10 mm.

 

My mistake. I was referring to 0.010 in. for the 25 mm maximum intake valve clearance.

 

Are the numbers above applicable in particular for Honda CR-V 2018 motor K24W9?
I am sorry for questioning you, I want to make sure because older models of K24, had same valve clearance, if I am not mistaken. But K24W9 is with direct inject, unlike the older ones, so the clearances might be different.

 

The valve clearance is the same for the 2018 2.4 motor.

 

10mm ? Wow I bet it would not back off that far.

 

Sorry if it is a stupid question, but how/where do we apply new engine oil to? we are loosening and tightening the locknuts right? or does that only apply if we are replacing the bolts?
