Can someone please tell me what the factory spec is for the intake/exhaust settings the valve gaps??

Also, can anyone recommend anything different from factory, and why if so?? And has it been tested/is it safe?

I've got a friend over at Honda and can get a good deal on it this week (like... REALLY good deal), and I have 12k miles on the car, most of which were between 6 to 9k :-)

I'm having some other misc stuff done as well... anyway, all input appreciated!

I have adjusted my valves several times, and have experimented with the clearances quite a bit. My favorite specs, which I have had for over 15K miles are:

.007" Intake
.009" Exhaust

This is .001" tighter than spec, but it works fine. Just make sure you adjust them again every 15-20K miles. Also make sure you friend knows that the valve clearances MUST be measured between the tappet and spring retainer NOT the cam lobe and roller rocker.

 

valve clearances must be measured between the what and the huh? and not what and what rocker?

damnit...i think i need to buy the helm's manual and learn this shiet once and for all.
