Adjusting valves on a Honda Rebel 250

- As I continue to ride my 1986 Honda Rebel 250, I decided to check the valve gaps. In this video, follow along as I remove the valve cover, rotate the crank, and check the valve gaps. For the '86 Rebel, the manual states that both intake and exhaust valves should be .002". Check your manual for the proper gap!

NEVER use power tools to remove or install the valve cover bolts. They will snap like toothpicks. I use large hardened washers held with Vise-Grips to remove those two plugs. Even then it is likely you will cause some damage to them. Very bad design by Honda. You don't really have to remove the top one, as there is another way to see if the cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke for the valves you want to adjust. You will notice there is a square notch on the left end of the camshaft. Turn the crankshaft COUNTERCLOCKWISE until that square notch is pointed toward the back of the bike. One of the cylinders will be at TDC on the compression stroke. It could be either side. The rocker arms will be loose on that side. Go ahead and adjust those valves. Then turn the crankshaft one full revolution (which will be two full revolutions of the camshaft) putting the square notch back where it was, and you can adjust the valves for the other side. The book says 0.002-0.004 inches intake and exhaust (they are both the same) I use 0.003 inches. Before using the feeler gauge, I use some spray brake cleaner to clean the oil off the valve stems and adjusters, as it can interfere with the way the feeler gauge feels. After doing a valve adjustment, I start up the engine, warm it up, and change the oil.
Thanks.
If one intake rocker is all the way down the other should be in the middle of the camshaft base circle and good to adjust, and so on.
What exhaust does he have shoot
In my 1985 Rebel manual it says to turn the crankshaft clockwise to set at TDC, however online im seeing many go counterclockwise ? is there a difference ? my rocker arm on the right side and exhaust valve is loose when at TDC meaning i have a bent valve?
Did you have to drain the oil to take off the lower access ports?
Which Guage number use in Intake and exhaust valve clearance guage ?
Do you have more videos of the Honda 250? My AF adjuster broke, and I need to find a replacement and how to. Any suggestions?
So my exhaust from the head fell off And it was like the for like 2 weeks do think that could have messed up the valve And cause them to need hey valve adjustment
That's not i, just line
