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?

I already set it to stock specs the first time, then I went tighter to see if it would help. It did a little just wanted to know if I could go tighter and if so how far?

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..
