    Knowing how to do a valve adjustment can save you a lot of worry and headache. The Honda Prelude is known for its H22 engine. Taking care of the H22 will provide you with years of reliability and performance.
    Doing routine valve adjustments will keep your car running at peak performance. The H22 2.2 Liter VTEC engine can also fit into other cars as well, so even though this video is for a Honda Prelude BB6, if you have a H22 then this video is for you.
    This is a complete H22 valve adjustment guide with valve cover gasket installation.

  • @chetanhanda
    @chetanhanda 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    awesome attention to the small details.. :-) suggesting some minor details/corrections.
    - The valve cover torque specs are 87 "inch-pound" and not 87 "foot-pound. 87 foot found will for a lug nut possbly.
    - Ensure the TDC is on the compression and not exhaust stroke , watching the extension level off doesn't tell which stroke it is on. It's better to match the cam pulley arrows. Also there is a dwell on the TDC after the extension levels off , its not true TDC, you will need a dial gauge or piston stop(risky) to figure out the true TDC. You will have to rotate the crank in opposite direction and reach same location, then take half the length to get TDC.. otherwise just use the cam pulley arrows.
    Awesome video and good job ... :-)

    Good vid. i saw the paradox of the mechanic and the surgeon when you used the pick to remove the spark plug gaskets while wearing rubber gloves, the valve cover on the operating table and then lastly with the classical music softly playing in the background. Sometime its working on your ride is like performing open heart surgery.

    Bend the feeler gauge about an inch and eighth back at 90 then go between the adjuste and valve stem. lightly work the adjuster while moving the feeler tell a firm drag. hold the adjusterr while seting the lock nut: same time checking the drag on the feeler.

    1 and 4 are tdc at the same time.. just on a different stroke

  • @oliverseibert4005
    @oliverseibert4005 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Pretty basic video. If people went by this and nothing else they probably wouldn't have a very accurate valve adjustment or they could mess things up pretty bad.
    TDC should be found in a more accurate way than by just waiting for the piston to level off, also you have to make sure you are on the compression stroke. Those things should have been mentioned. If you are able to, also try and be right in the middle of the valve tolerances when adjusting. That way you won't have any out of spec for a long time.
    The video is helpful though for people aware of those things, thanks

  • @MultiDislikes
    @MultiDislikes 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just needed the numbers, it's almore the same as a 2jz .008 and .006(+/-.001 btw the exhaust is always the bigger numbers in tolerance as it heats up more from thermal expansion....anywho's u don't need that fancy tool to do this I did mine with a screwdriver and 10mm u just have to make sure the nut is snug before u stop holding the screw. Then always double check even if u think u got it check it again and again.

    @jalilj8963 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    awesome video, but would you have any idea how to resolve a p1399 error code on a 2k prelude? 10k miles ago a full tuneup, cap/rotor/plugs/wires/valve adj/timing belt/crank sensor/waterpump/ and EGR port cleanout was done, now the car is misfiring out of nowhere. I'm baffled since everything is new and fresh... misfires on all cylinders randomly.
    thanks if you can help, but I'm stumped!!!

  • @Vette963
    @Vette963 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    So it must be tdc on compression stroke not exhaust correct? To verify this you simply inspect the position of the cams?

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Vette963,
      Yes you want to have the engine at TDC on the compression stroke. Start with cylinder 1 and use the arrows on the cam gears to confirm you're at cylinder 1 TDC. The arrows should point up at 12 o'clock.

  • @Alvaresmaico20
    @Alvaresmaico20 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    does it matter what brand of feelers to use? if so what brand did you use?

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi +Alvaresmaico20,
      I would recommend a good quality feeler gauge because the tolerance needs to be pretty exact. I use the Craftsman 40804 feeler gauge.

  • @xXDaMexican92Xx
    @xXDaMexican92Xx 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    great tutorial. only thing i would have done differently would be, to remove the positive terminal instead of the ground so you dont accidentally bump the wire so it ends up grounding.

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your time and input Alan Stengel

    • @krismichalsky
      @krismichalsky 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No offense Alan, but don't you have that backwards? You always remove the negative cable instead of the positive. If you pull the positive cable off and don't cover it with something, and the cable touches some bare metal, then you would short out the battery to ground, not the way you are thinking. Every single automotive procedure states to remove the negative cable, not the positive.

    Hi,i have a 1999 honda prelude with check engine light on. HAS code p0303 cyl 3 misfire detected. I've replaced Ignition coil /spark plugs /spark plug weirs /distributor.could it be fuel filter/ clogged cat/fuel injectors/EGR valve/timing belt? any advice?

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi +T.1.F.C THAT1FROMCALI,
      Misfires can be tricky. If you have a bad cat your car would tell you. What type of spark plugs are you using? The H22 is very picky when it comes to spark plugs. Sometimes it can be a bent valve or a scorched valve. If you think it's the injectors, you could test the voltage on them to see if they're all functioning properly. Try cleaning your EGR valve before purchasing a new one. and try doing a leak down test and compression test on all the cylinders as well.

  • @nrsrad8788
    @nrsrad8788 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    vtec cams make lands in the rocker arm pads ... they break into each other. using the feeler gauge between the cam and rocker gives a false read. The true way is between the valve stem and rocker adjuster.

    If you dont have a torque wrench handy is it realy important to torque the 10mm valve locking nut???

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hellow Finbar Odwyer, If you are referring to the 10mm valve nut that tightens the valve in place, then you do not need a torque wrench for that nut. Just make sure to tighten it really well while keeping the valve in place to maintain proper adjustment. If you are referring to the 8 10mm nuts that mounts the valve cover to the engine head, then yes, I recommend using a torque wrench and to also tighten down the 8 nuts in the sequence that I have outlined in the video. The reason for using a torque wrench for the valve cover nuts is because it's easy to strip the nuts if too much hand torque is applied and second, you want an even pressure spread across the whole valve cover to ensure no leaks, thus improving reliability and performance. Cheers!

      You're welcome Finbar Odwyer! Regarding the bolts that hold the cam gears to the camshaft, you do not need to torque those bolts down. Cheers!

    Your timing belt is covered in oil and is walking off the cams. could mean bad Tensioner which is common if your still running the stock auto tensioner

      No, but I think I bent one on accident. You can measure the tolerance without having to make any bends to the gauge.

    How often does this need to be done in time or mileage

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello Uncle Johnie Plays! Between 30K and 50K miles. It also depends on how hard you drive the car. If the engine goes to 7,200 RPM quite often, then you'll want to adjust the valves more frequently. If the engine hardly goes past 5,000 RPM then you can go longer before adjusting valves. I hope this helps. Cheers!

    Great video thanks for posting. I recently did a head gasket job on an h22a4 and had the rebuilt(shaved, new valve seals, cut valve seats, etc) and i remember the machinist telling me he would calibrate lash to .004(INT) and .006(EXH). The car runs smooth n idles fine with no misses but i noticed that it doesnt pickup power that good when VTEC kicks in n starts dying out right before redline when it would pull fine before. Also, my low oil pressure light comes ON when vtec was used before. Do you think this lack of power during VTEC is due to incorrect lash adjustment? Thanks for your help.....anybody.

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jairo, Sorry to hear that your car isn't performing well after the rebuild. H22 motors are very sensitive. It's always best to use OEM replacement parts if you can. I would recommend that you find a few reputable machinist that specialize with H22 motors and see if they agree with the specs and then make a decision based on your findings. Hope everything works out for you.

      sounds more like a vtec problem, than a valve adjustment problem

    • @jrg6809
      @jrg6809 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      ihateliberals I hooked up an oil pressure gauge where the sender behind the block goes n found out i have low oil pressure due to a bad oil pump once the oil thins up. This explains the vtec not engaging completely since it's dependent on oil pressure. Thanks for your help with the issue but seems the oil pump was the issue on my end.

    • @ihateliberals518
      @ihateliberals518 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      JRG well, that's really the kind of issue I was thinking of. low pressure is a common issue with vtec engaging properly. with my prelude, occasionally it doesn't engage when the engine is cold. or sometimes, even if the oil is a little low(1/2 to 1 quart) is enough to cause it. glad you got it figured out. I'm having an issue with my charging system, and it's really pissing me off....damn cars

      my battery kept dying on me...ended up being my positive terminal was kinda loose. I got a piece of perforated steel strap and wrapped it around the post inside the terminal and that made it a very nice, snug connection. Also, taking a wire brush to the terminal on the alternator could help as well.

    I don't think silicone on the gasket is necessary. For instance the original in your video clearly had none.

      pause the video at 10:52, there's clearly silicone at the corners of the cam arches. Without the silicone you will spray oil all over the engine bay.

    and fail. never go between the cam and rocker. go between the adjuster and valve stem. and check out the timing belt this h22a4 has more probloms than a vavle adjustmant. Please go between the djuster and valve stem. the rocker pads wear in and get vallies. VTEC engines are a pain to get right.

    Also no need to be scientific when deciding which lobes you can adjust. All you need to do is find out which lobes are facing 180 degree up and adjust them. Its not rocket science!

      Heh I know what you mean but it's not that simple. My 4.7 v8 Grand Cherokee engine (chain timing) died after 219,000kms due to a dropped valve seat. I agree timing 'belts' apart from 'chains' suck but honestly the way modern engines are built it almost seems like pot luck. Meanwhile my 3.5 litre V6 timing belt engine on another car (Nissan Maxima) just keeps going after 300,000kms (never bothered to replace it because to be frank I just want it to die - but it never does and still does 0-100 in under 7 seconds).
