I need to know what to adjust my valves too. i have a 90 integra LS. they are tapping like a bitch.

 

.017mm intake and .019mm exhaust.

 

aight i did that and now it runs like a friggin go kart. its sputters and sounds like a 2 cycle at idol and has lost all of its power and alomst stalls when i let out the clutch. now what in de hell is wrong with it?????????????????????????????????????

 

You have adjusted them wrong. I would suggest taking your vehicle to the nearest honda/acura specialist or dealer to check your job and/or make the necessary adjustments. -HIT

 

Did you put the sparkplug wires back on right?

 

THey should be tighter than that.

The non-VTEC motors run tighter valve clearances.

 

B18A are .017mm and .019mm, just like the VTEC motors.
B18B valve lash is .010mm and .018mm.

 

Silly question but,,,,,,,,,,
did you rotate each cylinder to TDC before adjusting its valves?

http://www.C-SpeedRacing.com check out the how-to section.

 

why dont u tell us how u did it and and we'll let u know if u did anything wrong

 

Not silly, I've seen it done.

 

yea, and make sure you're not only rotating them to TDC, but that your actually working on the cylinder thats currently at TDC. people make mistakes and forget. it happens

 

thats what my money is on
(he didnt rotate the crank)

 

no i rotated the crank made sure each cylinder i adjusted was on TDC of the inake stroke. and i adjusted them right. i found out what i did wrong. plug wires were on wrong.

 

Happens to the best of us

 

did you adjust them, according to the engine's fireing order!

 

i adjusted them 1 3 4 2 and i think thats the firing order

yes, that's correct. bring #1 cyl to tdc, and adjust both intake and exhaust valves, then tdc #3cyl and adjust, tdc # 4cyl and adjust, tdc # 2 cyl and adjust. good luck!
