    OK I watched this vid and followed these instructions today, did cylinder 1, turned the crank 90 deg and went to do the next cylinder and one of the valves was already part compressed! Thought about how 4 stroke 4 cylinder engines work for a few minutes and realized it's supposed to be a 180 deg turn of the crank (it would be 90 degrees if you were turning the cam not the crank), you might need to mention that.

    • @kennedy796
      @kennedy796 5 лет назад

      Not because it is a 4cyl. The cam is driven at half the crankshaft speed so you need to turn the crank 180° to turn the cam 90°

    Honda should use an allen style head on the adjuster screw.
    The slot style is truly primitive.

    I wonder how many people messed up their cars following this video? The cam needs to turn a quarter turn every time not the crank. Thanks.

    • @lucky1ukz
      @lucky1ukz 9 лет назад

      +the doge right. but number of teeth on crank and cam pulleys is different. that mean when you turn crank 90 degrees , you don't turn cam the same angle. just try in your bicycle ;)

    • @rs.wright
      @rs.wright 8 лет назад +1

      +the doge
      The cam rotates at half the speed as the crank. 360° = one full cam rotation for all 4 strokes.
      This means 720° of crank rotation for full 4 stroke cycle on all 4 cylinders. Divided by 4 = 180° of crank rotation for each stroke.

    • @theoriginalbillholt
      @theoriginalbillholt 8 лет назад

      He was giving credit to the 'genious'es for knowing that the crank turns twice for every one revolution of the cam because the timing belt pulley on the crankshaft axis is only about two inches in diameter. It's concealed at this point of component exposure. That relationship can be a bit confusing.
      In reply to your wiseass rhetorical question, if the belts are as tight
      as they should be, it's possible to much more conveniently and
      comfortably turn the engine by rotating the power steering pump pulley using a long, offset 19mm box-end wrench, especially if compression is relieved by removing or loosening the spark plugs. Now ya know,
      'genious'. ; ]

      Sorry to throw another comment in as a reply to yours, but it's as good a place as a couple of others are here as I revisit the video. ; ] I didn't want to be overly negative, but with an economy of words I often lack, I have to say that your thought is spot-on. This guy seems nice and genuine, and he's roughly 95% right in his instructions, but the 5% of misinformation represents a critical margin of error. Ha! I'm surprised this video wasn't reported, or was left up if it was flagged, despite presumed 'at your own risk' caveats. Worst of all, these guys must know by this point that they made a big blunder. They should have responsibly pulled this video, or edited it. Honestly, because of that, I'd never use their in-person services. Leaving this video active is a sign of their character and quality as 'professional' business owners. I'm tempted to suggest they rename their channel 'realfuckupsrealfast'.

  • @1stardragon
    @1stardragon 15 лет назад +1

    The crank bolt should be turned 180 degrees counter clockwise for each cylinder and the cam gear up mark should be 12 o'clock for #1, 9 o'clock for #3, 6 o'clock for #4 and 3 o'clock for #2 valve adjustment

  • @88crxhfb18
    @88crxhfb18 11 лет назад +2

    Should also be noted that you do this with the engine cooled overnight

  • @petef9734
    @petef9734 10 лет назад +5

    You reall should correct this demonstration of valve adjustment. As others have stated 1/4 turn on the crank pulley bolt is only 1/8 of a turn on the cam. Two full turns of the crank equals one full turn and one cycle of the camshaft. One half turn on the crank in the correct firing order and you would have been correct. This miss information is dangerous always be 100% or DIYers will mess up their engines.

  • @griffon3275
    @griffon3275 6 лет назад +3

    Why is people putting so much thought into this ? the key point is to adjust ANY cylinder during the compression stroke at TDC with the cam lobes not touching the rockers right? after doing the #1 cylinder cause you have alignment marcks simply remove spark plugs from other 3 cylinders and place a long skinny screwdrive in hole to contact the top of the piston.
    then slowly turn crank till the screw driver comes up and stop before it starts to go down and fine tune till you get in the sweet spot where it doesnt go down or up.
    check your rockers if loose go ahead and adjust if tight you are on wrong stroke either repeat process till on compression stroke or do the opposing cylinder now as it is on compression stroke at TDC
    when #1 is on tdc compression stroke #4 is not . when #3 is on compression stroke TDC #2 is at tdc but not compression stroke
    this whole 90 degree 180 degree of crank /cam turns only confuses novice mechanics .. teach um what all the stuff actually means and keep it simple (kiss) keep it simple stupid method

    • @bmxt9x
      @bmxt9x 5 лет назад

      You shouldn't have to find exact TDC as you're describing unless I'm missing something. It will be off the cam for most of the stroke.

  • @redoxon305
    @redoxon305 12 лет назад +2

    When you say TDC, does it have to be in a specific stroke?

  • @joepatterson8157
    @joepatterson8157 10 лет назад +6

    After setting #1 (TDC on its compression stroke), the crank would turn 180 deg (not 90 deg) for setting the next one, cyl #3. Then, 180 deg turn of crank for setting #4, then 180 deg turn for setting #2. (F.O. 1-3-4-2). I hope you didn't screw up that Honda engine too bad the way you did it.

  • @210peanutswaye
    @210peanutswaye 11 лет назад +1

    great video everything is legit exeeept for the degrees and ratios. cam turns Half the speed of crank so 180' crank= 90' cam rotation VERY IMPORTANT.

  • @roderickconstantino5354
    @roderickconstantino5354 7 лет назад +1

    cant you just look at the high points of the lobes and then use the complete opposite side( rounded end of the lobe) for each arm and adjust from there instead of all this TDC stuff. also with the plugs out, cant you turn the power steering(easy access) instead of the pulley?

    • @kennedy796
      @kennedy796 5 лет назад

      Yes. However i recommend adjusting the cam every time to face the lobe oppisite of the rocker your adjusting. In my case the cam turns to tdc, adjust the exhaust since its oppisite exhast rockers, then rotate the cam 90° approx to adjust intake on the same cylinders base intake lobe, while setting the next cylinders exhaust rockers on its base lobe.
      This gave me the best idle and running i have ever seen

    didnt know that there was a mark in the inside of the camgear.. but anyway i have marked the camgear so... instead of taking the wheel of i take the timming belt out to see when its on TDC on cyl 2 and 4

  • @raidacaipo
    @raidacaipo 14 лет назад

    this guy messed up.. You dont turn the ratchet a 45 degree turn, you turn the ratchet until the cam gears are about 45 degrees. Piston 1= up arrows on 12 oclock. Piston 3= up arrows 9oclock Piston 4=up arrows 6 oclock piston 2 up arrows 3 oclock

  • @jeepbme
    @jeepbme 12 лет назад

    This video is SOOOO WRONG.
    First of all is .008 on the intake and .010 on the exhaust.
    The main thiing that is wrong is your suppose to rotate the Crankshaft 180 degrees which is a half a turn not a "1/4 of turn" as you mention here. The only thing that is a 1/4 turn is the the camshaft. When you turn the crankshaft 180 degree or a half a turn it rotates the camshaft 90 degrees or a quarter of a turn.

  • @Hawlkeye-e9p
    @Hawlkeye-e9p 12 лет назад

    I would not do it that way. The best way and correct way is to verify lobe position per per cylnder. The process depends solely on lobe position and nothing else, by not verifying the lobe position you're asking for failure.

  • @aclo982007
    @aclo982007 13 лет назад

    @garrett6699 actually you don't, all you need to do is be sure the cam lobe is not in contact with rocker, but for the unexperienced i agree it would be best for them to do it the proper way.

    hello I have CRV 2009 ex 4wd 209000 km. there is no check engine light. the engine make some noise and vibration at idle and hard accelration power . the cylindre compresion is correct I have change spark plugs. there is no leake and coil , injector are correct. After scan honda say ther is misfire in cylindre 4 at idle. after check they propose first a valve ajustment and if the problem stay there propose chain kit change. what you think . if i change chain kit does the engine will be correct or it is better change engine. thank you

  • @griffon3275
    @griffon3275 6 лет назад

    Didn't catch this guy telling to do this cold ? reason you do it cold is warm engine things expand which is why there is a clearance to compensate for expansion .. not sure but if you did this on a hot engine you might end up with some valves through pistons as this is an interference engine and if you get shit wrong you just made a paperweight.

  • @88crxhfb18
    @88crxhfb18 10 лет назад

    It should be noted here that the valves need to be done while its in the compression stroke. To verify this you can remove your distributer cap and make sure the rotor is in the correct position. My valve adjustment took 3 trys to get it right because I disregarded removing the distributer cap.

    @willbrown2000 12 лет назад

    (6:28) I'm not a pro by any means and I may have missed something, but I think you need to turn the crankshaft 180 degrees (camshaft pulley turns 90) to get the next cylinder at TDC. I'm an amature, but that's what the honda technician's manual says.

    • @zaklynch5668
      @zaklynch5668 10 лет назад +5

      When you move the feeler gauge back and forth you are feeling for some drag but not forcing it to were it hardly moves or is extremely loose. For these 4 cylinder Civics the tolerance on the exhaust valves is .007 to .009. Normally if a vehicle has a range like that I will adjust them to .008 so I have a .001 wiggle room. After Im done with the adjustment Ill run a .007 feeler in there and is should go in with no drag then a .009 feeler and you should have some difficulty inserting it in the gap.

    • @kennedy796
      @kennedy796 5 лет назад

      It should have a bit of drag. Not enough to lock it down but your feeler guage shouldnt fall out if you let go.

  • @paulmersteinmetz1924
    @paulmersteinmetz1924 11 лет назад

    Great video. Forget taking the tire off, and turning the crank manually. Use the Pedal-It automatic valve adjuster. You simply attach it to the starter and step on a pedal. Every time you step on it, it will turn the motor to your next set of valves, in the proper firing order. You can buy it from Ciccarone Racing Products.

      Gt35rv12 is correct. The procedure that works is ensured by setting the cam on its most base lobe. Essentially facing 180° from the rocker contact point on EVERY rocker. Since the lobes are staggered you will have to adjust your exhaust and rotate the camshaft 90° approx to adjust the intake.
