ENG: Valve Adjustment VIDEO!

[Losiracer2]

Found on youtube thanks to EricTheCarGuy. Shows a pretty good idea of how to adjust your own valves and save the 100 or so bucks a mechanic would normally charge you. He only does the adjustment on one cylinder, on the intake side, so just repeat and use the necessary feeler gauges for the intake and exhaust for the other cylinders in the PROPER sequence, 1-3-4-2. Hopefully a video tutorial will help a lot of people vs. the conventional Haynes or Chiltons manuals.

Nice! I like how he pulls the valve cover off, then flips it over and says "oops!" when he drops the valve cover bolts down into the engine bay.

2 bad he didn't do it on an H22. That would've been way more interesting. Or I should say difficult.

The procedure is the same, but it's 10 times more difficult do to the head design and location of the valves. Maybe it's easier using the long feeler gauges, but you cannot do the job with a typical box end wrench. I was able to do the job using the special tool he showed in the video, but it was still very difficult with the feeler gauges I have.

I wouldn't say 10x more difficult. I mean you have 2 cams so the ex. and in. valves are for each cam instead of both on 1 cam. But I'm thinking it might be easier w/ professional, longer feeler gauges meant for Honda engine vs. those 3 dollar ones you can buy at the Checker or Autozone. I'm sure they're not that much more expensive, and you'll still be saving money buying those longer feeler gauges then paying someone else to do it.

I've done both f22's and h22's. To save you time on it do this: do what he says for the intake and the exhaust for just 1 valve each. now mark with something the direction of the cut were the flat head goes, losten the nut again and tighten it till to goes touches the valve stem (effectivly .000mm) mark it again. I find that usually it's about 90deg. i'll then losten every single nut so i can make quick adjustments. I'll move that one valve back to were it was, tighten it down and then do the other one. I'll tighten it down then twist it that 90deg (maybe less maybe more) and tighten it back up. and then i just continue just as he says but i won't use a feeler guage for the last 14. Never had a problem and it always works out good and quiet.


the reason why it's so much harder one a h22 is that the valve stem head and rocker arm are so deep in the head its just hard to get to and feel for that drag.
