Valve lash?

By Dirtymechanic87
- Mon Mar 07, 2011 6:03 pm #242748 I've got a d16z6 with a comp cam, zex springs, zex spring retainers and a mild port and polish. What my ? is that my valves are really noisy, I've already adj them tighter than spec. They are at .005" intake and .008 exhaust right now, how much tighter should I go?

bring it to the above mentioned values,. that's the D series stock settings. if you still have the sound. then you might have to look at your lost motinio assembly..
