To do those seals, don’t you have to take the rocker assembly off? Don’t those rockers open and close the valves….I am sure I have seen an ETCG video where he did the exact same thing, and I’m pretty sure it is good practice to adjust the valves afterwards. Good luck!!
I would try to find that video, he said what the gaps are supposed to be for in&ex and the torque settings too I think.
I used that video for reference when I did the seal job. He didn’t mention adjusting the valves though is why I asked. I did have some issues with one end cap coming off, a couple rockers and a cam cap but it went back together ok.
Well poop 🙂 things are blending together in my memory. I think there is another video then for adjusting the valves? Might be good to have a partner to spin the engine slowly so you can tell them when to stop.
If there was no mis before the work and the valves
were not touched.I would be looking at spark plugs
and wires.I did do new NGK’s. Wires looked to be fairly new. I just bought the car in November so not sure though.
I don’t know if your problem would be the result of misadjusted valves. They really shouldn’t be that far out when you do that job. I adjust them just for good measure when doing that job just to make sure everything goes back together correctly. I would be checking your work and also looking for an ignition system problem. Aftermarket wires are often a problem on Honda’s. If you have NGK plugs as you say they’re probably fine but I’ve seen some aftermarket wires pull apart internally causing a miss like that.
