I dont know what you mean about the harmonic balancer bolt.
so far I think I got an idea of how to do it on a b16,Quote:
connect it to a breaker bar and place it on the harmonic balancer bolt.
will try it this weekend
o btw, ultra grey is now called grey max or something like that
you do it the same way as in the photo.
makes no difference if its B16A, D16Y, or F20C,
all the same.
I use Permatex untra grey
only $10 a tube. good stuff
would i need a new valve cover gasket or i can just use ultra grey on it? surrounding all the lining?
also the valve clearance of USDM cars would it be the same like AUDM?
its for eg4 hb, d15b7
it says on the USDM manual
In : 0.18mm-0.22mm (0.007"-0.009")
Ex : 0.23mm-0.27mm (0.009"-0.011")
thanks
yeah as above,
http://b16a2.kicks-ass.net/automotiv...ical_guide.htm
you can get your specs from there for AUDM cars
D15B7
Inlet 0.18 - 0.22mm
Exhaust 0.23 - 0.27mm
at valve
on a B18b do you measure between the cam lobe and lifter? or is like different?
i have tightened mine to spec. the tighter side too. but the ticking comes back after a week or so? does that mean the nuts are ot tight enough because itighten them well tight.
yes you measure at the camshaft,
if the tappet locknut was then the tappet would go out of spec, tightning it will not fix the prob. you would have to set the tappets again if you didnt kill the valve train.
what specs did you set yours to ???
was the engine stone cold.
did you turn the crank 4 times, 1 for each cylinder ?
yes i measured at the camshaft. and tightened all the locknuts on the tappet fairly tight. i dont have a torque wrench so jsut tightened them hard. the car runs great but still makes occasional taps - alot less then before though.
specs are as follows for B18B engines.
B18B
INTAKE: 0.003" - 0.005" (0.08mm - 0.12mm)
EXHAUST: 0.006" - 0.008" (0.16mm - 0.20mm)
so i aimed in between. maybe i am unsure about the amount of drag that is sufficient on the feeler guage?
also, after the adjustment there was no noise for abut a week before it came back? Does that mean that they were not tight enough?
Yes engine was stone cold left overnight and was crancked to tdc for each cylinder.
bump, just wondering if ecu man could confirm with me the above. thanks.
hi dude
yes for a B18C2 DC4 your specs are correct
For a B16 engine i notice there wasn't much room for a fillr guage and a spanner.
The filler guage souldn't be a problem as i can use the ones with a bend in it, but with the spanner, it's a different story. how do you guys go about using a spanner and screw driver at the same time with the limited space?
