I simply did a valve adjustment using correct procedures and this is the final product, does anyone know? Thanks!

 

Need to diagnose ASAP if possible

 

Sounds like they're too loose.. Let it sit overnight and adjust them again if they are not correct..

 

First guess is you did it with the motor warm or hot.

 

i adjusted them first thing in the morning so it was dead cold.

i have adjusted it 4 times now all of which engine was cold.

 

sorry i shouldve included that i have a d15 block with z6 head, what lash should i have?

 

Yes deff not done correctly

 

ouch u f-ked it up

 

Oh You Think?

I am looking for Tech answers not bull **** comments

 

techdeck answers?

 

int. .007"-.009"
exh. .009"-.0011"

 

A couple thousandths tighter then what you got now for sure..

 

And if its warm when you adjust them you're gonna want to run them tighter.. So have you adjusted it 4 times today?

 

Hay ******* this might be a honda forum but i am a cert chevy tech. What more tech answer do need than it was done WRONG? You clearly have no bizz doing a simple valve job on prob the EASIEST motor to one on. Really what kind of tech answer do you want? Your valves are from the sounds if WAY to loose, and i am willing to be the motor has next to power just reving it. I am also willing to bet you did whlie car was "warm".


Have nice day blowing up your $2 civic

 

Not hot... Warm.. It does make a difference..

 

The engine was completely cold when I did this. I look on here for answers and if no has an answer then don't reply.
Jdh22eg Idgaf if you designed this engine wtf are you doing on a Honda website talking ****? if you don't have an answer then don't reply all I wanted to know is if anyone has had this problem, I am mechanically incline my whole family is this civic may be a daily driver but this and my datsun is how I learned to work on cars, I can just tell your an idiot by how you replied. I hate replying to BS comments but I felt I should. I'm done with this thread ill call up some buddies that can probably help me thanks for nothin

OP did you turn each cylinder to TDC when you adjusted the valve lash?

 

Normally I don't get involved in other peoples flame wars, but you come off like an arrogant douche. I was a Honda certified technician for 5 years and an auto technician for 10 years, I am also certified in Toyota, Mitsu, and Hyundai. I spent 0 dollars on school, the only school I have ever been to were the manufacturers training schools that i have been to for free to certify. So yes, if you spent 20g's on school to be a "technician" I would call you an idiot.
