try here http://tech.hybridgarage.com/t...t.pdf

 

intake 0.15-0.19mm {.006-.007}
exhaust 0.17-0.21mm {.007-.008}

If you set it to spec and it is still noisy,check the "lost motion assemblies"
It is a common problem for them to go bad.

not just common, its an absolute eventuality... especially on first gens. i've yet to hear one that didn't sound like a typewriter, its always a dead giveaway to the venerable B under the hood.

 

Hey guys could i get more information on the "lost motion assemblies". is this the rocker arms. I've adjusted all my valves and its still ticking. where is it located. what do i have to do to fix this problem.

 

It is like a shock absorber for the vtec lobes rocker when it is not engaged.

#18 in this pic if it works:

 

Damn LMAs are freakin' expensive too

 

do you have to remove the valve spring or retainer to be able to change the lost most assemblies.

I don't believe so. Just pull off the valvetrain assembly and they should be easily removable by using a magnet. Pop the magnet onto the top of them and pull them straight out from the head.
