Valve clearances

[NORRO]

Done them today and now my CTR sounds like an old diesel. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've seen threads in the past with similar comments 'post valve clearance'

Trip to the garage for a check up i think

set up wrong no doubt. my local honda set my s2k tolerances to that of a k20 engine.

Was the engine stone cold?

I admit it was not 'Stone Cold'. I trundled the car 0.3 miles to do the job. [There are legit reasons for that, but wont go into it]

Will be leaving it stone cold tomorrow so i can re check the clearances.

It has to be dead stone cold.

I thought Honda states as long as block temp is less than 50 degrees or something like that.

Turn the engine on for 20 seconds and then touch the exhaust manifold. I dare ya.
