    Default b18b valve help

    hey guys, need help real quick. Ive only ever adjusted valves on VTEC models, so rocker arm design is different on this b18b than i am used to. If you have done this yourself and could let me know where to put the feeler gauge, that would be great. I just cant figure out how to do it between valve stem and arm because the arm has those two protrusions coming down around the stem.

    thats why i made the comment if you have done this, which you obviously havent because you would know the rocker arms for the b18b and a look nothing like that

    If you never done this before I would leave it to the pro's
    speaking for honda/acura


    But all valve adjustments are with the rockers to the tip of the valve/retainer

    wrong... you still have the same adjustment clearance between the cam and arm as you do with the tip and valve. either is fine. thousanths is thousanths as long as its within the adjustment of the clearance between the valve or the cam the clearance will be the same no matter what guarateed!
    LET ME GUESS... YOU MISSED A GEAR!
