Hi Guys... I purchased a refurb D15B7 cyl head for my 91 civic (non-vtec) ... I need to set the Valve clearance as the head came with the valve clearance bolts loose. Could someone explain how and when to set it... should I place each cyl. at TDC in order to set the clearance for the respective valves ... or is there a 'how to ..." for setting it ...
I have the settings for the Intake Valve lash at .007-.009 cold (.1) ... and the Exhaust Valve lash at .009-.011 cold (.229-.279) .. Thanks

If you go to the DIY section of the forum, you will see there is one on that matter. Good luck
