Instead of getting itr lma's, could I run a looser valve adjustment than stock without harm? I have Crower stg 3's (the 403) I was curious....

Valve adjustment does not address the issue of LMA's that are not up to the task. The VTEC lobes of the cam push the mid rockers down all the way, whether VTEC is engaged or not.

 

trying to get more opinions........bump

 

I set my valve lash at factory specs

valve lash what is this? is this valve to rocker arm clearance? i'm not familiar with the term, please shed some light on me!

 

Valve lash, valve clearance-same same G.I.
The space between the cam lobe and the rocker arm.

I saw a movie once that had that phrase and I stole it. "Same-same, G.I."
Some Asian chick talking to a soldier in some war movie. G.I. = government issue.

 

no no tres beaucoup......

 

Not too beaucoup... This is just pure Alabama Blacksnake.
ITR/GSR/CTR valve lash = .007" intake and .008" exhaust, just to keep it sorta on topic.

 

so valve lash is the same as pistons getting stomped by valves.....too bad claying the motor takes so much friggin time....

 

doesn't Toda recomend a NON facotory valve lash... just curious cause mine are factory specs and im running spec b's

 

Toda recommends 0.20mm exhaust and intake. Stock is .17mm (+/- 0.02mm) intake, 0.19mm exhaust (+/- 0.02mm).

 

I clayed my motor and found interesting results.. that you can actually go more wild on your cam gears that most poeple say....

just be careful for float that's all.
