Adjusting valves on CRX Si
I started doing this job @ 4:24PM and finished at 6:10PM, so considering I worked on CRX-es first time, I would imagine I can do this job next time in 40 minutes without rushing myself. Just to let you know
on how much time you have to have in reseve.
Pictures below are in chronological order with more explanations on the page that is linked to every picture.
How Engine works?
A couple suggestions:
- Use proper tools and make sure you have an idea of how the engine works
- Make sure you know all technical specifications before you start the job and torque specs for the bolts and nuts you will remove/install in the process. i.e. overtightening may result in permanent damage and/or bad performance/lost time.
- Keep your engine and surrounding area clean while you work on it
- Count number of parts/bolts/nuts before and after you work on your engine and if something missing or you've got a few "extra" parts left - make sure they're not inside your engine loose

Harbor Freight Clamping Dial Indicator

When finished check the lash with a feeler gauge to experience the drag.A dial indicator can check the valve travel from TDC to BDC but a feeler gauge can only check lash.http://www.harborfreight.com/clamping-dial-indicator-93051.html
