Valve success
« on: September 15, 2005, 09:34:51 AM »
I thought I had been doing my valves the right way. Did them according to the Honda manual. Did not work for me for whatever reason.
Finially I did it MY way by just making sure the valve I wanted to do was completely closed. Turns out 2 & 3 were fine, funny since they were the biggest pains to do. 1 & 4 were way off!. Now the engine makes no valve noise and I felt the increase in power! It still feels like there is more power waiting to be tapped and I hope to get more of that with a sync this weekend. It is nearing the end of the riding season here but if i get it all done now, then I just need to check things over next spring!

I certainly HOPE that the explanation of identifying open and closed valves I gave a couple of days back helped you!

Turned till I got the valves I wanted to adjust completely closed.
