EDIT:

Got the torque specs.

Last night I started with cyl 1 at (UP at the little arrow on the timing belt cover).

I then moved it to 12 o'clock after reading to do so in another thread.

Do I do cyl 1 at the arrow or 12 o'clock?

I know to rotate by "3 hours" for every cylinder already.

Anyone?

 

If I remember correctly the spec is 120 in/lbs.

 

Thats 9.x ft-lbs. Lowest my wrench goes is 10 so thats what I did.

I set all valves to I .8 and E .10 I started the car and it idled a little higher than usual. After driving for a few minutes, the car started ticking. Any hints on what I did wrong? The car had been cold for over 18 hours when I adjusted them.

 

13ft-lbs for y7, 14ft-lbs for y8, intake: .007-.009in, exhaust: .009-.0011in. Oh btw honda motors are known for their slight knocking..it's normal..before i did my mini-me on my 45k y7 motor it slightly knocked also...8)

I'll try retorquing them to tha then. Before I adjusted them, it didn't tick like it does now.

I'm going to check the clearances again before I retorque them just to make sure they didn't turn while it was running.

If that doesn't work, I'll redo them in 3 hours or so.
