i did a search and nothing came up, i know theres probably a bunch of info i can't find. anyway whats the easiest way to turn the crank[ getting to it], for duing a valve adjustment? ans do i have to use a torque wrench for tightening them or can i just feel for it? d-16y8 sohc motor.

 

deep 19mm socketwrench to turn the crank

and uh your using a valve adjustment tool right?

 

nah just a flathead screwdriver and box wrench. feelergauges. how do you get to the crank pulley? do you take off tire and turn the wheel, or go in from the engine bay?

 

get a helms. but for not the crank is a 19mm on the drivers side behind the tire on the short block. Its in the middle of the crank pully, there is only one 19mm there. Turn it counter clock wise. Follow the manual for the valve adjustment.
1) line up the motor to TDC when the crank mark hits the etched mark and the cams line up and say "UP".
2) adjust the no 1.. im not sure but the intake is like .7 and the ex .6
3) turn the crank 1/4 turn and do the no 4
4) then turn again then do the no 3
5) turn again do no 2
I think this is the right order.. its off the top of my head. get a helms to be sure. Rem i am not 100% sure this is the right order but i think it is. Pull the spark plugs too itll make life a little easier and gettin a Valve Adjust tool will makes things a lot easier and make the adjustment go by soo much quicker.
