anyone have valve clearance specs for a 95 vtec-e? or any tips for adjusting the valves?

 

yes. get a valve adjustment tool off of ebay first.

going rate was $12 plus shipping last time i checked. it'll make your life a whole lot easier...

 

I just did that valve lash adjsuments last week.
Not that hard just keep double checking your clearance.

all 95 d15's and D16z6 .007-.009 intake side
.009-.011 exhaust side



95 B16a3 .006-.007 intake
.007-.008 exhaust

 

how do you check it to begin with? is there a write up? i have a 93 ls and would like to check for good measure. any info helps

 

make sure the engine is completly cold, like not run in a 24 hour period cold, otherwise you might have to do it again

but get a manual to learn how to do it properly

 

do you need to buy a new valve cover gasket before pop the cover off, or can you re-use the existing gasket?

interesting: when peeking thru the oil filler cap hole in the top of the valve cover, the rocker adjustment screws look just like the ones on my XR50 mini bike. could it be that they function the same way?

 

don't drop those suckers down into the engine block. you'll be in a whole world of hurt if you do. lol.

 

I reused the valve cover gasket when i did it.
but its better to get a new one just in case, you can order them at autozone for $10, takes about a day.
Thats for the valve cover set.
You need also a feeler guage.
17 mm for the crank pulley nut to turn it.
