*o*Delta 282*o*

Yea, but i'm running stock valve trane, and he said that if he would have tightened them any more, the springs would have just snapped. Matter of fact, what are the recommendations from delta on what to set the lash at?

springs dont snap they either bind or break. it means that there's too much lift for your stock valvetrain so take that motherfucker out.

Set your valve lash to .009/.010 inch of INT and .011/.012 inches on EXH....PERIOD!! Don't listen to anything else. You need that little bit of play in there as you rev the motor, otherwise you will BREAK your valvetrain. Then you can come back and tell us we know more than your mechanic and we're right. You choose.

This is only coming from a person with personal 63,XXX miles of experience with a Delta 272 and I serviced the motor entirely myself. Only coming from a person that built an F22 high compression build for my white Accord from the ground up and have a camshaft way more aggressive than your 282, which I set valve lash to .009 INT/.011 EXH inches on.

The more you rev the motor, the more I realized I needed to adjust valve lash more frequently. Stock is every 15K miles, I did it ever 12K with Delta 272 when I drove aggressively frequently.

If your ganna do all that get a bisimoto cam too. delta 282 is a pretty generic grind

Word up

Bisi is a mad scientist... hell bent on extracting the most power from a unit of fuel burned in an F-series motor

Generic grinds (that were not meant for an application) can be troublesome. Before a grind hit the market from Bisimoto Engineering, over 10 sets are tested, and destroyed to provide the perfect match of all-round performance, economy, and reliablity.

In addition, SOHC cams are more difficult because you have to grind in the lobe separation. BTW, excessive valve lash "mushrooms" the tips of valves, and wears out valve guides in the process.

hondafan what did you set the lash at on the delta 272?

To the specs Bisimoto recommends for their camshafts, which I mentioned above. They are very close to stock specs anyhow.

If memory serves me right, Delta wanted me to set the 272 at .006/.008 inches. I think that is a significant difference from stock and did not feel comfortable doing so.

[dbsharp]

thats the same as for the delta h23 cam, wich is looser than stock, for a h23 at least.

Good to see you put that cam to use jordan, I didnt have the balls to put it in. Jose was still dogging me about that.
