Valve lash help

[d'sb16a]

Currently i am doing a valve lash on the b16a, and my measurements are 0.006"-0.007" intake and 0.007"-0.008" exhaust, is it best to get drag or prevent on .008 exhaust or .007 intake?

thats a incorrect info u found. its suppose to be more of a loose tolerance between .002 to .003 like example " .004-.006" <----. type R motors are .001 to .002 of tolerance. dont be to loose and not too tight. let it get a drag on the shim. if the info gives u .003 tolerance between .004-.006 i'll go with .005 and let it have a slight drag. wen u tighten the screws do a recheck to see if its too loose or too tight.

yeah already got a hang of it, but those are the correct specs, everything works great

wtf are you talking about
should be whatever the spec says with slight drag.
dont go dimpling your feeler gauges.

i work in a Aerospace machine shop where they machine stuff for jets bro. that post i wrote up there is example if u didnt see me say "Example" in it. and dont come and say i dont kno cuz i work with shit that is a a millionth time smaller than a strand of ur hair. here's the real info. and yes, dont dimple ur feeler gage http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/valveadjust/valveadjust.php

If you just do it how the book says, you'll be good to go...

Looser is safer for high reving, equals less valve float, but to loose can cause a noisy idle.

To tight will cause premature wear, and serious valve float.

Dimple feeler gauges....

Just set it to the spec. Not loose not tight. Honda made those specifications for a reason, and they last 200k miles. I think they knew what they were doing

Bump old threads FTW!

Well when wrong info is posted I think the proper info should be stated. They make a + or - for a reason, and there is no way you are ever going to dimple a feeler gauge.
