This is the best valve adjustment video for a 96-00 civic on the internet.
Thank you
I called a mechanic and he told me it will be 350$ and it was gonna be more than 3 hours to do. But you did it in a budget of 20 dollars under 30 min!🙏🙏
make sure to do this with the engine cold, metal expands when heated so it can throw off your numbers
Q
I thought I would die when he said I just like to slide it in there and leave it in there...lol The chick across the room had a big smile! She's like what are you watching lol🤣🤣🤣
robert medina omg lol
I was so scared of doing this myself but after watching this video and taking notes I am so confident in my ability to do this. Please make more videos like this, I have a 96 cvic ex so these videos are helpful.
It's not that difficult, just a little tedious. Block out a day so you have the time to do it. I adjusted mine in 2015 on my 1998 Civic LX and it still runs great in 2020!
@Alfonso Luka no one fucking cares
How scared? How confident? 🙂

@@Mike-nf6nfI own a 1998 honda civic LX.. previous owner said he did my valve adjustments… how often do i have to get them readjusted bro?
I’ve watched a couple videos on this and yours gives me the best understanding of valve adjustments so now I am ready to tackle the job. Thank you!
me 2
When you went to adjust #2 and were going to turn #1 I started trippin'! LOL
The Haynes manual for this engine states :
. 007 to.009 intake and. 009 to. 011 exhaust..... for those with feeler gauges in inches
Which number is the best for a fresh build
P2J7 head with Z6 rocker arms and brain cower springs and ferrea Valves
This video is very informative for people, came in clutch because ive done a valve job and decided to adjust all timing so I have no issues
Excellent and very detailed!! Thank you!! This video saved me a couple of hundred dollars for sure!!
Great content. Clear audio, good camera angles and quick procedures.
Thanks bro. :)

I focus to watch and learn to
Adjust a valve clearance intake
And exhaust valve. This day is
Add my knowledge. And additional
My personal experience. In this time
And I thank you!
I have no idea why I've been scared to do this myself. I figured I'd just look up the process and wtf theres no way I'm paying hundreds for this. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, makes things even easier for prep 👌🏻
Good video, good audio, thanks for taking time to post
BEST valve adjustment video i've ever seen!
WOW what a great video!! Excellent step by step instructions
I'm definitely ready to do it myself thank you for your awesome work. 👌
thank you so much for a detailed and clear video. simple and to the point.
Thank you man, just fixed my moms car because of this video. I appreciate it
Very good video. I appreciate the lesson. I'm about to build a D series motor and this will come in handy. Thank you.
How's the D series motor coming along?
Great video, just adjusted my valves, no issues.
Thanks!!!
Really everything went good buddy I’m about to do this and don’t want to f&&& it up
Just got done doing this. Valve cover back on with the gasket maker. Guess I'll see 3am tomorrow morning if it blows up on my way to work 😅. I have trust in my ability though. I'm pretty confident all will be well
Thank you sir, very nice tutorial.
Thanks for the video, buddy! Yours are the best video on youtube because all the other ones are not as clear and helpful like yours. ❤
Thank you for the video me and my son did it right because of you thank you.
Thank you very much for this video man ! I have very little experiance in carmechanics, this video helped me out ! Runs like an angel now :D
glad we could help :)
great video, one of best, again I did the same adjustment 05/28 without seeing this video, damn it, I did it before on other honda and forgot most of steps, could have saved me some time if I saw the video first, thanks again !!
john Hsu lol np! Thanks for watching! :)
I agree with bibodude, if you take the plugs out it turns with ease. n you don't need to jack it n take the tire off. Thats extra hell bro...
Nice and clear video. Very helpful guide. Just bear in mind that 180 degree in the crankshaft will be 90 degree in the cameshaft pulley.
Great vid!!! Best valve adjustment vid I've seen so far.
Just did this job today! Good video
Thank youi like your videos and they have help me alot on my 96 civic 1.6 vtec 2
Brooo thank you so much I was struggling so much you explained it clearly walking me thru felt like you was right here in person walking me thru it thanks brotha💪🏽
Mr. Mellow !!. Your the best !!
By far the best how to video ever! This gave me the confidence to tackle a project I figured would cost $500+!!!!
+Miles H nice!
Excellent video!!!
this video helped me thank u. nice bay by the way!
Nice vid man!!! 👍👍👍
Dude you are the freaking best man! Super detailed video, keep making more brotha!
My next step will be this, according to the video, as there is a little valve sound tak-tak!
Dzięki kolego super robota. Pozdrawiam 🇵🇱
Did this today. Thanks for the video! 97 ek d16y8
What miles was yours and how did you know it needed adjustment?
I rotate the engine with the power steering pump pulley (19mm) instead of crankshaft pulley. It's much easier and you can see the crankshaft and camshaft gear marks at the same time. Also you don't need to remove the timing belt upper cover because there is white mark behind the camshaft gear.
It's valve adjustments make car runs better !!
I have a 1997 Honda Accord Ex Vtec. I have replaced FITV, Shifting Solenoid, Lock Up solenoid, Map Sensor OEM, PCV, vtec solenoid gasket, TPS .5/4.5, cleaned and calibrated Idle Air Control @ 550rpms disconnected - reset ecu, issue idle bumps up idle and hard shifting 1st and 2nd.
Although I don't have Civic, but this method is more clearer than the Accord.
Pretty sure my 240k d16 has never had a valve adjustment. Update adjusted the valves and it sounds much worse than it did before. I followed all steps and took notes also re readjusted them and it still sounds like a tractor.
tractor 😂😂😂
@@dorran962 valve adjustments arent for noobs!😂 my car now has a new motor from that
Great video! Does this work for a d16y7 block as well (lx, dx ect) I have my valve cover off now so might as well adjust valves at same time. Thanks
Great video. Thank you!
🔥🔥🔥🔥ADVICE: You need to have a torque wrench for this job. The valve cover bolts are super sensitive and I’ve personally tightened down my valve cover and snapped bolts off inside the head.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🤩🤩🔥
Thanks for being so thorough:0)
Thanks for the video super helpful.
Nice video man! Is this the same procedure for d16a vtec engine? I noticed urs was non vtec so i had to make sure thanks again
Thank you sir this is so much helpful
Great work bro. Just wanted to ask about 1st and 4th cylinder when it is on top dead center, possible to do valve adjustment for both without turning the timing as well as the 2nd and 3rd cylinder is on top dead center??
You my friend are a bad ass👍🏼 after watching this video I went out and bought some tools I’m get ready to do the same job you did here wish me luck 😉 🔩🔧⚙️
Good job .. nice video
Great job 👍💪
thx!
very detailed video. thanks!
thanks!
Great vid
awesome I'm gonna be doing that soon
nice
Great job!!!
nice civic intake valve
Excellent. Thanks so much! Do the rocker tightening nuts require any specific torque in in/lbs or just snug?
Looking for the answers to this also..
A big THANK YOU!!!
great job
Thanks for the brilliant explanation !
The sticker on the bottom of the hood gives the correct valve lash numbers. Since the lash seems to decrease with wear, adjusting toward the higher end of the range may be advisable. This translates to less resistance for the correct size feeler gauge.
Checked it and you are correct as well.😁
@@markwarren7959 About what, exactly? LOL
@@tmst2199 The stickers location.
@@markwarren7959 under the hood, IIRC
@@tmst2199 Amen.
So the valve no 1 rotate to 360° and no 3 290° and no 4 180° and no 2 90°...its true or wrong
awsome video.
+Speed00007 thanks
Very nice and clear detailed video.
Dumb question: Automatic or Manual transmission does not change anything at all for this adjustment process, correct?
I have a 99' Civic w/ a 5spd manual trans. I would love to make an attempt to adjust the valves myself instead of paying somebody for it.
Thanks!!
Yes, it works on both manual and auto since this is the valve and not the transmission. 👍🏼
Awesome video! I took notes so I can do this. Question- does carbon buildup on the valves affect the valve gaps? (or do the springs somehow compensate for this?) Thanks!
im always wondering things like this i have a 1992 civic and it either needs IACV cleaned or valve adjustment
,_,,
Carbon shouldn’t affect the clearance while adjusting valves
I did is to my ex2000 a year a go watching this video car runs like new trade it for a lude🎉🎉! I’m back to redo an automatic ex 98 that I just got.. 10000%video very very helpful
Thanks I found it helpful but instructed unclear removes the head of the block.
Huh
I use this procedure in my civic 2001?
The number one exhaust valve lash is insufficient. Is this due to carbon buildup on the valve or head preventing the valve from fully seating? On motorcycles I believe lash tends to increase with wear, at least on the intake.
This may be a dumb question, but how was it running to make you decide to adjust the valves?
Tick, tick, ticking....usually. If they're loose. I don't know how it would act if it was too tight.
is this the same specification for the y7?
Does it matter if you must know if the #1 piston is in intake stroke or compression stroke or not? And how's that possible to know if the said piston is in intake or compression tdc?
bro before you started to rotate the crankshaft pulley which direction clock wise direction or counter clock wise direction,,tnx
Is this the same way I would turn the crank on my 93 honda civic esi ph16 engine if so please let me know thanks in advance sir
would the sizings be the same for a d16y8 engine?
nice video..also why would one do this adjustment. any problems in driving. Could you check my video title "Rattling noise from lexus es300". Some one said it could be shim or valve adjustment. So would out of adjustment valves could be cause of the rattling? I did check for any loose metals shields or cat converter is fine too. So i know its coming from the engine. thanks
I can't adjust my 3rd valve because the screw head is worn out and I can't loosen the lock nut. Does anyone know the measurements of this screw?
Hey, I got a question for ya. Is that a D16Y7 or D16Y8? And I noticed that my Camshaft pulley doesn't have an indicator for up/top dead center. I have the D16Y8
I been wanting to do the valve adjustment on my 98 civic lx after i did the Time/water belt while i had the Valve cover off and TDC i tried sliding the Gauge on valve number 1 to check and there was no space in neither Ex or intake, do you think its a good thing or bad that they are tight?
tight valve could drift more some and burn exh. valve or in. would drop compression/power or worse. valve timing on interference type eng. belt slips and valves break off!
Are the valve clearances the same for all d16 engines I have a y7?
my tool only has .178 or .229 for intake and for exhaust it would be .254 does that sounds good? witch one should i go with for intake side ?
How long is that extension for rotating the engine?
Very good
DAmm I git the intake and exhaust mixed up I did 7mm on exhaust and 9 on intake ?
Is there a special mark on the valves that I need to look for a mark that they are hx or dx ex because my civic has ex valves and the vtec is not working properly.
Is this the best valve settings for a good petrol average?
What i wanna know is,since that does it make any kinda knocking /tapping sound(s)?
What does this fix ? I have a lil ticking they told me to do this for the lil ticking ?
Is it 0.25 or 0.025 ?
I have a tool but only has inches and metric. So im confused on that. Thanks!
How did the engine sound and perform after the adjustment? Great video!
***** it was better than before :)
I haven't adjust my one for a long time, after I did it, the engine have power, run better than before.
Very important to be done regular.
I have a question. Your car was on drive mode when you did it this work.
6:26 for the goods 👌
thank you veri mach bos
Would this spec be the same for the D15Z1?
