i got the specs for valve lash and i adjusted my valves they way i was supposed too and now the bitch runs like shit. it sounds like a go kart and fuckin doesnt have any power. it sputters and sounds like a 2 cycle. what the fuck is wrong with my car??????? the specs i got for valve lash was from .015mm-.019mm (.006in-..007in)intake and .017mm-.021mm(.007in-.008in). are these the right specs????????

 

Well what kind of car are you driving? That's probably the first important question, then cross-reference your measurements with the stock measurements.

 

i fixed it now my valves are jus tappin. i adjusted them to the right specs and theys till tap does it jus need oil????

 

i donno, maybe knowing what kind of engine it is? might help.

Valve tap is normal for B series engines, especially with some mileage on them..

 

please tell me you rotated the crank when adjusting each set of valves, and im pretty sure those specs are correct, if i remember right thats the same as i used, 10 intake 18 exhaust.........

 

i see well then the motor got bout 130 gs on it

 

each cylinder i had at top dead center intake stroke when adjusting there valves but what the hell are u talkin bout 10 intake and 18 exhaust

 

as long as you only rotated 1/4 turn to adjust each set of valves then your straight, 10 and 18 are really like .010 and .018 on feeler guages, thats what i meant, just thought youd know what i was talking about considering you most likely used a feeler guage to adjust the valves.....
