glad to be in a b....but

I noticed my motor making a noticeable ticking noise on the intake side of the motor where intake mani...connect to the block.
I think it's just need a valve adjustment, but new to motor maint. b/c i didn't car about the d15 mAINT

btw i just changed the oil 2 days ago w/castrol 10w30 syntec blend.

I'm getting a friend mech to hear it tomorrow, but im just paranoid about my motor staying good now.

 

check out eric's site for some good info and maintenance:

Mine was ticking pretty good, and it was misfiring a little at partial throttle at low RPMs. I got my valves adjusted and fixed all of that right up.

 

any advise on valve adjustment? My b16a has the same problem and honda doesnt work on hybrid cars and i dont trust the local shop. I would love to do it my self but im kinda lost on how to due it, ive read the helms, but stil not sure nad advise or tips?

thanks for any help

 

I think it needs valve adjustment not for sure but i would be good if you would the adjustment. Also one thing if you want to practice valve adjustment just practice it on your old engine if you still have one.

you might wanna buy the special valve adjuster tool to make things easier

 

I was kinda scared to do my first valve adjustment. I got the special tool, which made things much easier. On a 1st gen B16, the intake side should use a .006 feeler gauge, and the exhaust a .007. Its really not that hard, theres tons of write ups on it.

 

cool yall. i got one of my friends family mechanics to listen to it today, and he only charges like 30 bucks for an adjustment. I might still do it myself IF I can squeeze in some time...seniors are busy @this time of year. it sucks


after reading the c-speed racing writeup I think I'm going to do it on my own. b/c IF anyone I don't know works on my car and screws it up, that would suck majorly.
Good article of tech. ~~now to print all of that out and get ready for wrenching this weekend. Sure wish I was putting some cams in while I do the valve adj.
