BTW it is .008" on intake and .010" on the exhaust. Thats what the manual says but I found it is quieter at .007" intake and .008" on exhaust.

This is correct, but if you never did it before, you need the book.
(my opinion) you can order it at any honda dealer. It is made by HELM.
It is the same book the tecnician uses in the Honda dealer.

yes, if you don't have the money for a helms, a Haynes manual will also tell you how to do this. I just got one and it has a bunch of usefull info in it such as this right here.

you'll hear them "clicking". most importantly....what color of smoke is it burning? black or white?

GRAY

I'M CURRENTLY USING 20W 50 OIL AND I HEAR IT CLICKING LOUDLY WHEN I START MY CAR BUT AFTERWARDS IT DIES DOWN...THINK OIL'S LINKING FROM MY DIZZY??

Jmunk · #11 01-27-2003, 01:04 PM

The sound your hearing is your valves, and is porbaly because of the oil your using. Thats a thick oil and it moves slower than like 10w30. It's probally cold when you start it up and theres a lack on oil on the top end.
