[laokid]

a feeler gauge

yess, i meant what spec should i use

[laokid]

right now its on 8 and 6 , and its ticking louder...

[ballistic08]

that seems tight I would've said 8 and 10, It probably says in the car manual. but that may not be the source of your ticking

[laokid]

i dont know, 8 and 10 seems like that would be too loose

Damn I thought Mike did it for you already.... What happened?

[SLow_POke]

it has been a good mintue but i tought it was 4 intake ; 7 exhaust. plus or minus 1... just remember engine has to be cold.

I know 90-91 heads vs 92-93 heads, the cams are different....,but are the b18a1 and b18b1 bottom are they different as well?

he did, then i accidentally used my remote start in 1rst gear, didnt know the guy put it in first gear when he parked it, after that my valves start ticking again and leaking power-steering fluid somewhere...

[SLow_POke]

i know crank, deck height, rod lenght are the same other the that i dont see what the diff is. i assume just cylinder heads

hrmmm than i should use the 92-93 specs??????????????
The 90-91 should be .006-.007 inches intake and .007-.008 inches exhaust
The 92-93 should be .003-.005 inches intake and .006-.008 inches exhaust.

[SLow_POke]

yes i would go with 92 up b18b specs

[laokid]

yeah imma go with the 92-93 specs, but ill probably use 3 for the intake a 6 for the exhaust...........anybodyyy else with different suggestions?

[SLow_POke]

i think that will be good, i was saying 4 so it gives u a lil room to play if they where loose.

The 90-91 should be .006-.007 inches intake and .007-.008 inches exhaust
The 92-93 should be .003-.005 inches intake and .006-.008 inches exhaust.either will work fine. i normally go by what the head is as long as its still stock.

[laokid]

used 3 and 6! No ticks:goodjob:, but i recommend setting it in the middle somewhere 4 and 7, i can feel a little drag............

[SLow_POke]

good deal. It's always best to leave in the middle.

[VickNotic]

intake .006 exhaust .007 is what i usually do

[RBS]

3 is too tight, 6 is on the tight side. i do 7 intake exhaust for those "race" engines

[Tech5]

4 and 7 is fine ........ 3 and 6 is ok.

I run mine alittle tighter than normal because i like the valves to open alittle faster for more power but what do I know I never built a engine in my life:crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:

[laokid]

yep o well


intake .006 exhaust .007 is what i usually do

thats too loose i had .006 and .008, it was ticking

[laokid]

3 is too tight, 6 is on the tight side. i do 7 intake exhaust for those "race" engines
noo thats too loose, for some reason.... i have a b18b1 head, differents specs than the b18a1 head<---bigger cams i believe


4 and 7 is fine ........ 3 and 6 is ok.
