know it, love it, tattoo it on your forehead :evillol:

too bad i have a teg motor now half the stuff is different.

that motors broken.... it only has one cam :evillol:

Try to pick a time when it hasnt been driven for literally hours. I did mine about an hour or 2 after driving my car and they made more noise then before i did it. :banghead:

how often should you adjust em? mine sound like there gettin noisy

i would say just do it when they get noisy. if it ain't broke don't fix it right?

I am just going to do it when I wake up in the morning someday, when it's completely cold. Now my exhaust is comming loose so I've got nasty noises comming from everywhere in my car I hate it!

well I found out why they were making noise!

I went to stick my feeler guage in to adjust one on the intake side, and about fell into the engine bay 'cause there was such a big gap. I went to loosen the nut and it was already loose, it was pretty much just flopping around in there. Now it purr's like it used to!(and lets me keep up with s2000's)

o shit my valves are adjusted wrong. i used a sae feeler instead of metric...damn.

uh? :uhoh:

lets just say it was measured wrong....

how could you go through doing all your valves, then realize just now you were doing it wrong?

the actually lashing was done right, but the feeler gauge that was used was wrong. under the hood, it says .20 and .25. i talked to my mechanic and he said thats really thin, so i just used a SAE feeler and lashed them to .020" and .025", so its about .01" too much slack. luckily i havent been driving that car around so i guess its fine, i just gotta go back and redo everything. the lashing was done a few months ago.

well I found out why they were making noise!
