Adjusting the valve clearances in my 1994 Honda Accord F22B1 vtec engine (16 valves).
I am to the point where I have the feeler gauge inserted, a wrench around the locknut, and a screwdriver in the 'feeler screw' I suppose it's called.
It's almost as if the nuts on all valves are freakin WIELDED to the screw.
When I try turning the screw, the nut turns with it.
When I try turning the nut, the screw turns with it.
No matter how hard I try, they wont seperate. Am I doing something wrong?
