Needed for weekend: feeler guage

[CleanNeon98]

Need to adjust my valves

.07
.09

if anyone has one I can use, let me know thanks

[Danronian]

I hope you are having someone do this with you, who has done a valve adjustment before.

If you ever plan on doing it again, you should just buy a set of feeler gauges. They are very cheap and very usefull.

LOL yea I realized they were that cheap when I opened the site..I thoght they cost like as much as a torque wrench

[Danronian]

haha.

torque wrenches at harbor frieght cost like $10...

I've used them to do stuff, and they seemed to work for me. Worth if you don't have one, and need one.

But I wouldnt go adjusting your valves without help.

It's worth it to pay someone or just not get it done. Your engine won't break if they arent done for a while... It'll be fine.

Seems simple enough to do...do you know how to do it??

[TurboTagTeam]

Honda-Tech it. It's really really simple on a single slammer. But if you honestly though that a set of feeler gauges was expensive.....maybe you need help.

If you can put an intake on, you can adjust valves.

I love single cams simply for their simplicity. Apparently i need to either buy a special snap-on wrench or torch a harbor freight 10mm wrench just to get to the lock nuts for b-series adjustment? true? not true? Also, i would use harbor freight torque wrenches for probably anything but engine internals. I just wouldnt trust them to be consistent. If you dont want to drive all the way to harbor c/n just go to any hardware store. Getting a set with a 45* bend will make them easier to slip in between the valve/rocker but it is absolutely not necessary.

I've done 3 different clutches as well as 2 head gaskets w/my harbor freight wrench. So far, all is good. I compared it to my craftsman non-clicker (more accurate), and to me, it seemed to be right on. Then again, I do take good care of my tq wrenches, so that might be why it still works after a few years.

I'm fairly certain that's only on a VTEC motor. I adjusted the valves on my Integra with ordinary tools a few years ago.

[enigma]

I wouldn't put on anything more than wheels with a harbor freight torque wrench.
Not worth it to me if i build a motor or suspension and the torque specs are off.
