Integra with 250000 kms

[Lukey]

my teg has 301xxx kms on it and still going strong despite burning and leaking oil everywhere!

[aurnob88]

Haha galaxy nexus, keeps doing that. I get a bit of a burning oil snell adter some vteccing, im assuming thats not great

[aurnob88]

Pumped up the 17s to 42 psi front and rears
Definitely better handling and less understeer and sway. Any reccomendations

[dougie_504]

What size tyres?

42 sounds a bit high. I'd have thought something lower would be better for handling/oversteer.


I used to run 215/40/17 on 34PSI. Went nicely.

[aurnob88]

Yeah same sizes, i personally like higher pressuees car rills more easily and less deformation of tyre under cornering. Ill probably just change it to 42/40 psi

[aurnob88]

is a low level ticking niise normal at idle? Valve lash?

[aurnob88]

Yeah just checked my engine oil levels their really low just above the lower dot . The motor must've burnt a lot of oil over time and vteccing.

[dougie_504]

The ticking may be valves, yeah.

Do you have a feeler gauge and some other basic tools?

[aurnob88]

nah dont got feeler gauge and wouldnt attempt to do the valve lash, in case i got it wrong, dont have expereince with taht stuff. anyone know the rates for getting the valve lash adjusted.

[dougie_504]

Wouldn't be surprised if you get done for at least $200-400.

[mocchi]

fuark, $200-$400 for 30mins job.
easy money there lol

i would be happy if someone pays me $100 to do this on their car

[dougie_504]

30min? Lightning man lol.

They will charge you an hourly rate, probably a base rate, probably advise new valve cover gasket etc.
