is there a diy for this... or a manual that has specs and so on to rebuild the head..
my main concern is the valve adjustment.. i know the specs already.. but they are for when the head is warm or at operation temp... but when the heads off the car.. thats a bit impossible to achieve... so what specs should i set them valves to when cold.... keep in mind these are new valves.. new retainers... and new springs..and new seats
all brian crower...
should i replace valve guides?

any info would be great...
thanks guys

 

as far as i know these are the cold specs and this is what i went by when i adj my valves .008-.010 intake and .010-.011 exhaust.

 

those are the warm specs.. by the manual.. so maybe their the same... then why would they be listed as warm... weird... damn hondas.. tricks are for kids... this car is mind boggeling at times...

 

No, the S2000 manual states the engine is to be cold when the valves are adjusted.

 

You can't effectively adjust the valves with the head off the car.

The rocker shafts and stands need to be remove to access the head bolts, and the final torque on these bolts will change your valve adjustment.

 

i understand that.. but theres no exact standard when the heads off... oof how to do it.. guess each engine when initially built went threw that lengthy ass process of valve adjustment... alrite thanks

 

There is no standard to do it off car because it can't be done correctly....
