    Ticking after valve adjustment.

    So I just replaced my 93 lx upper and lower tube seals; a lot of oil had leaked into the spark plug wells.

    I adjusted the valves, and it's a good thing I did because they were generally way undersized. Initial start up revealed two things:

    1) There's a cloud of smoke coming from my exhaust pipe now. Like burning oil smoke. I think is this because the oil that was trapped in the wells dropped into the cylinder when I removed the spark plug. This should go away and I'll probably add more oil.

    2) A tick. A quite noticeable tick that gets drowned out above 2500-3000rpm.

    Any reason why there would now be this loud tick? Should I re adjust the valves?

        i usually do them to .009 and .011 but maybe one loosened up? on some valves they wear the tip out in the center so while the feeler gauge may read right, it will have more clearance but usually honda valves dont wear the tips out.

          I'm gonna go ahead and adjust them again. My research tells me that I can run tighter tolerances anyways as a result of my using synthetic oil. This time it'll be .009 and .011

            Adjusted valves and the engine runs tick-free

              run tighter tolerances as in everything except valve lash. valve lash fucks with valve timing and that doesnt matter whether you run 0-20 or gear oil.

                I know this is probably a dumb question, but did you do the adjustment while the car was cold?

                  THe car had been sitting for 5 hours since driven on a 40 degree day, so it was cold. What really happened is that the number two was loosened because I didn't torque the lock nut enough. Guess the moral of the story for me is not to do work when I'm tired, frustrated, and impatient

                  Between that, cleaning my AEM air filter, and new sway bar end links, the car runs great
