valve job
what consists of a normal valve job? and about how much would one cost?
the reason i ask is because my buddy told me i needed one, because one cylendar makes an odd sound when its cold...and i want to get a port/polish, but was just wondering what all they would do as part of a "normal valve job" i know that the P/P isnt included but just wondering about what the price would be for just the valve job. |
RE: valve job
usually the term 'valve job' is associated with a 3-way valve grind, which makes the valves less restricting to incoming air and adds power.
describe the sound |
RE: valve job
I had one recently. You might as well have the whole head redone. It ran me about $400

RE: valve job
well, if it making a funny sound, maybe he is talking about valve lash? In that case, you would remove the valve cover and use a feeler guage to adjust the clearance between the retainer and rocker arm. Your honda manual can give you the specs on intake and exhaust clearances. I think intake is .008 and exhaust is .009. You CAN do it yourself, but if your new to mechanic work, you can get someone else to do it.

RE: valve job
well, the noise is a horrible metal/metal grinding/ticking sound....i would like a new head...but remmy, was that the price of a new rebuilt head? or just a "valve job" i was kinda poking around the idea of buying a head from that "importbuilder.com" guy that remmy used. but, i might just swap to a low mi. Y8 head and wire the Vtec silonoid. Any suggestions?
but if your new to mechanic work, you can get someone else to do it. |
RE: valve job
hmmm...metal ticking sounds like what i was talking about, valve lash. Before you get a new head, just TRY to get the valves adjusted. After i rebuilt the motor and everything, it sounded like it was about to come apart in the head, horrible gas milage, and not the best performance. But as soon as i got the lash adjusted, it quieted right up and purrs like a kitten. Just try it.

Or the valves need readjustment... OR if its what I think it is (which is bad) your wrist pins are shot.
