Adjusting Valves Acura Integra B18B - EricTheCarGuy

Is the full video still available to purchase

Mine is revving at 1500 rpm and it’s also ticking

Great video

Greetings Eric, in your video you DID NOT specify wether valves are adjusted when the eng is hot or cold. This is for the novice like me.

2024 still here

Thanks buddy

First video of how to adjust my 1996 Integra GSR valves, anyone welcome to give me tips Thxz!

What size is the measuring shim ?

Can you rotate the cams to do the adjustment?

This is some good videos but one thing im not really sure the way you rotated with the 19mm, how's the timing belt is gonna look like

Comenting so you tube keep sending money

So I have misfire codes but I changed spark plug wires and spark plugs, the code is now p1399 any ideas?

I wish you were my neighbor Eric.. Great video

I'm experiencing a misfire in 1 and 3 that is more pronounced when the engine is cold and less noticeable when I've been down the road a ways. Was told that sort of behavior could be an issue with valve clearance. Thank you for the Video!

And why is it 10 and 18? Mine calls for .017 and .019. That's a big difference

Okay, on my #4, left side intake valve, the feeler guage won't go in. It's too tight and won't go down any further. What does this indicate? Thanks

Your the best ! Thanks Eric

Do I rotate power steering pulley counter clockwise or clockwise to get tdc?

10 year old video and still hping lol Eric your the man like always!!

Eric you are the best thanks so much

Thanks 2022

Great video. I have a b18c honda motor im working on. I was changing the belt and installing a aftermarket harmonic balancer on the gearshaft. I didn’t have a problem lining up the cams, however, as i was installing the harmonic balancer, With the belt removed, I believe I may have moved the TDC of the main crankshaft off of its center. I cannot view the marks of the main crank because the aftermarket harmonic balancer now covers it and its far too difficult to remove now. I was planning on putting a stick in the spark plug hole to find dead center as it raises up upon moving the crankshaft, but I was concerned that the valves would be affected, so i removed the cams from its journals to avoid any valves from being bent and now im planning on turning the crankshaft (counter clockwise) measuring TDC of the camshaft in order to get it TDC. Question - Am I correct to assume that it’s important to get my maincrankshaft on TDC ? And if so, am I doing it correctly? Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

comments like the one about busting knuckles on the valve train are one of the reasons i watch erics videos over many others. good lookin brotha

I’m so happy I found those thank you so much for actually explaining my teg is going to sound so much better

Thank you so much for these clear and straightforward instructions. My DA9 was sounding like a ticking time bomb, but using your video as a guide, I now have a nice, quiet valvetrain. Excellent friend when I needed one. Good on you.

Thanks Erick. 🤘🏼

Dude!!!!!! Thank you so much bro.

I thought you're supposed to adjust them in sequence starting from cyl. 1, 3, 2, 4. Does this not affect it much?

So I saw a video someone stating they saw yours but he said every time He spin the power steering he said it has to be at TDC before adjusting each valve

Sorry to bother. Will be doing my 99 Honda CRV this week. Do you torque the bolts once adjusted, or just get it consistently snugged on each valve bolt. Nowhere talks about torquing those adjustment bolts. Always enjoying your vids…..thank you from Canada!! 👍

What does the fast idle vale connect to on this car

Have you run across over tightened nuts on the adjusters that once the nut is loosened you cannot turn the screw in the nut. so to loosen the nut from the adjusting screw I turned the nut until the screw stopped turning and the nut loosened. However I cannot free the screw from the rocker now. Thoughts?

Thanks so much like an idiot I was trying to adjust at the head of the valve to the adjustment screw not the cam lobe to the assembly. Gotta do it again now

if the nut is to hard take out the follower and loosen it in a vice . Yes yes and yes you can bend the valve stem trying to loosen it in the head !!!! Take heed !!!

Are all rocker arms suppose to be loose? What if they are all tight?

Interesting video. I never heard of this before. I have an 03 envoy, 02 cavelier, 98 maxima 93 vigor, 99 solara. All with now over 300,000 miles and never did a valve adjustment. Should I have my mechanic check them or dont bother with it. I'm having no problems cars are running great.

Does the car engine has to be warm

Great vid

So do I have to set cylinder one TDC? Then rotate from there? Or what the pattern?

Is a little wiggle okay or not at all?

So what would happen if bolts loose and you have to adjust em so they solid

my CRV's B20z TDC's with the tick marker lined up with cylinder 1 lobes perfectly sideways facing opposite intake/exaust. would you consider that off timing? can i work with that and move to 3, 4, and 1 or am i in shit creek? Thank you for your vids, you're the man!!

Thanks so much. I appreciate the post

Well, that saved my wallet a good chunck of change. This was easy enough to do in the garage in under an hour!

Problem solved. Thanks!

This is old but Eric, If my Motor is reeving
slow. Would a valve lash adjustment make a difference ? or are the rings bad ?

Etcg I need your help. I have a b18b1. The engine is built and brand new. Ok I mixed up my rocker arms. First is that okay? Second you can adjust your valves I'm any way as long as the lobes are pointing up correct?

Dear sir, a couple of rocker arms are being found out of their position, why is this ? no info on the web! is it due to bad valve adjustment? HOnda CRV 2000

Thank you @ericthecarguy!! Keep up your channel. Fixed my idle issue after months of hunting and cleaning iacv, throttle and the ficv.
