B18A1 valve adjustment

[elstraitjacket]

what tools will i need to adjust the valve clearance on my 92 gs? specifically, is it necessary to have a special valve adjustment tool, or can i use a 12mm wrench for the lock nut and a flathead screwdriver? also, what size socket do i need for the crank and can i access it without removing the wheel?

thanks guys!

The only tools you will need is a ratchet, feeler gauges, 10mm socket for the valve cover bolts, a 19mm socket and long extension for the crank pulley and spark plug socket. A flathead and 12mm wrench can be used for adjusting.

ok cool. i heard somewhere that the locknuts were recessed, making a special tool necessary for that aspect of the job. i will tackle this job in the morning, weather permitting. thanks guys!

Only on B18C engines. B18A and B18B's are accessible with an ordinary wrench

Make sure your engine is cooled off when you begin. And have a new valve cover gasket handy just in case. Mine always expand when i removed it.

I just finished this job about an hour ago. I had a broken rocker arm that needed replacing so I just went ahead and adjusted my valves while I was in there. Im not sure if my top end is a b18a1 or b1 however I adjusted my valves to the following specs: .003 Intake .006 Exhaust. Would these numbers be ok on a b18a1?

Started my teg and now it sounds as if its cammed out. Dont know if it should sound that way.

It should list the specs.

And I don't know what "cammed out" means.

Yeah i used those specs but those were for a 92 integra and i did some research and found that the 91 were a little bit more looser INTAKE: 0.006" - 0.007" (0.15mm - 0.19mm)
EXHAUST: 0.007" - 0.008" (0.17mm - 0.21mm). So im gonna readjust to see if that fixes the issue.
