In the process of doing a valve adjustment on the integra LS...

Does anyone know if there are torque specs on the lock nuts for the valves? Am I just supposed to make them sufficiently tight? Anyone have a Helms handy?... I left mine at home.

 

25 nm, 2.5 kgf-m, or 18 ft/lbs. i was in a giving mood tonight

 

thanks... I think I overtightened, though maybe like 30 pounds.... I hope nothing breaks

Weird... this is the first time I've heard of torque specs for the lock nuts, and I used the Helms, C-Speed, Team-Integra and advice off here to do my adjustment.

 

thats the honda spec i pulled up right there. and i think the torque spec is more of a guideline, cause honda puts torque spec on spark plugs and valve covers.... and those you just kinda snug down. the spec is only there as a guideline

Double and triple check to make sure the adjustment screw didn't move when you tightened them.

 

thanks for all the replies...
