LETS GO SALVO!!!! Thank you for the Clear precise and clean help. You guys rock!
thanks for the awesome comment! Glad we could help :)
This video was extremely helpful. Thanks dudes!
thnx man that's what we do them for
This was a very helpful video! Thanks for another good one.
good deal that's why we do them.
I loved this video. Very helpful.
thanks, glad we could help
Good video! Thank you!
sry got caught up talking trash an forgot to say good specs (legit) and good vid by the way.
Hey, I appreciate you taking the time to produce this video. I used it to help a friend do a valve adjustment on his 2004 rsx. After we put everything back together and started the engine, there was a randomly occurring light snapping sound, sort of like the sound of a water drop hitting the ground. When he revved the engine a bit, the sound occurred more frequently and it was louder. Do you have any idea what we did wrong and how we can fix it?
the water drop hitting the ground sound has me confused but it sounds like you may have missed on one of your adjustments causing that snapping noise i would recheck and make sure you got it all perfect
Great video. I started hearing a ticking after changing the vtc actuator. Any ideas? Maybe need valve adjustments?
could be something else but its worth adjusting to make sure they're good
@@salvobrothers5928 ended up being bad spark plugs that I put in on the same day I did the vtc actuator.
So when you get to top dead center, you adjust the Intake side and then exhaust side after? And then follow the same adjustment in firing order?
yes cause at that point both valves will be closed and no tensions will be on the springs
@@salvobrothers5928 thanks
@@brianbejado3237 no problem
This video is awesome! I changed the valve cover gasket on my rsx, but I noticed 1 of my valves didn't line up properly with the rest. Could this be the cause of my misfire issue? How can I adjust the valve into properly alignment. Any advice?
id have to see what your talking about, either your looking at it wrong or there is a serious issue going on
Hey how's it going guys.How long was that extension bar you used on the crank?
probably a good 1-1/2 to 2 ft
Thanks I ripped open my valve cover and found a lil play on a couple valves
awesome, glad we could help out
I have a fully built k20 head and the clearances are super loose. Does the clearances change because of aftermarket items or should they remain within factory specs.
what kind of aftermarket stuff you talking?
@@salvobrothers5928Aftermarket springs valves retainers,valve guide, port, honda cams
@@rwells242 gotcha, if the cam manufacturer doesn't specify that it needs a different lash for the valves then I would just put them at stock specs
I got low compression in cylinder 4, do u think an adjustment will fix it?
only if the valves on that cylinder are obnoxiously loose which i highly doubt. how low is the compression?
Salvo Brothers sixty five 😬😬
@@Twopointslow yikes you gotta do a leak down test to find out where that compression is going
You don’t check the clearance between the camshafts lobe and the bearing on the rocker?
Nope you just check the space between the rocker arm and the valve stem caught by the spring
Isn’t the chain tensioner driven by oil pressure? Checking tension with no oil pressure doesn’t make sense. Do you check valve clearances on a warm engine?
you can still notice a slack chain even when oil pressure is not applied the ecotechs are known for that
I thought the tension was driven by a spring inside the tensioner itself pressing on the guide. Can you please explain how oil pressure has anything to do with it?
@@JDMSMOKEY03 The spring is only there to provide tension during low oil pressure conditions, such as startup. Oil pressure provides the tension. Oil is supplied to the tensioner on the reverse side through a port in the block. Most tensioner failures occur during startup when there is low oil pressure. More aggressive cams and valve springs put more force on the timing chain and tensioner.
@@JDMSMOKEY03 you are correct, tensioner is it’s own thing and tan by spring tension. once you release the pin the rod will go out pushing onto the back of the guide and even had a little locking mechanism to not allow it to go back in.
@@Nikko-zi3ti u can actually push it back in if u push on it a lil and then hold up the “locking” piece on top. I only did that because my tensioner is still pretty new and was just swapping my z3 cams for 06 tsx cams.
Does any one have the specs for the intake and exhaust valves on a k20z1 head? I’m running ferrea 5000 series valves and once the vehicle started it is making like a small tapping noise coming from the head. The specs I used where 0.21-0.25mm for intake and 0.25-0.29 mm for exhaust.
i literally have the specs shown in the video
i have k20z1 with tsx cams. same specs with these cams?
no its different and i do show the specs for it in the video somewhere in the middle so check them out
cheers guys 🤘🏻 you forgot the sequence 1342???
yea haha we just went after it.
@@salvobrothers5928 so it didn't matter? I'm checking mine soon and read it needs to be complete in a sequence?!?
Hello What is the size of the socket wrench you use
for what?
I need this done to my car how much does this cost
a couple hundred bucks probably
Would the a3 lash be the same?
i forget but i do show the specs in the video for multiple k engines
Where you located mines ma loud I can’t do the work

Sup brothers
aye yo
The rsx I bought sounds like shit and has a bad tick ✅ I'm hoping a valve adjustment will doit
I'm sure it wont hurt, that's usually the reason they make noise like that
Gonna do valve adjustment later today will post results
@@lancelotkillz cool man definitely curious, let me know what happens
haha. homeboy has to be methodical with that "harbor freight" torque wrench. but seriously boys and girls, HB is good for all kinds of stuff.... just never torque wrenches ;)
that is a snapon btw but thnx for the comments lol
