is it required that after you put on new cams, springs, and retainers that you get a valve adjustment?

 

Yes I would at least take the time to check them all. I would have to say they will probably be off. What ever cam you choose will ( or should ) have the spec sheet to help you set the lash
Good Luck

Good Luck</TD></TR></TABLE> word to that my homie right there

 

would not getting them adjusted cause my engine to sound really loud and smoke a little, cause thats kinda whats happening. Im going to get a valve spring adjustment today but im just making sure that nothing else could be the problem.

 

I dont know about smoking a little, but it could definitely cause it to be noisy, depending on the type of noise. loose valve lash will make the engine very clicky.

 

yeah, you need to adjust them

 

yes valve adjustment is necc. was a valve job done? if so the valves will sit in the seats farther causing the valve lash to slightly loosen. as far as the smoke i would tend to say valve stem seals

 

ok i read the civic repair manual

and i sitll dont get it

what kind of tools do u need to adjust valve lash, and how do u physicaly do it? do u just screw the bolt until it touches the valvestem when the valve is in its resting place?

i dun get it
