I completed the valve adjustment but now there's a tapping or a clicking sound. Did I make things worse or can I do something about it? Also I watched a YouTube video on how to fix the oil dip stick tube. Unfortunately I noticed it's loose again. Can I use some kind of liquid metal to weld...

I'm attempting to do a valve adjustment and I've noticed the intake and exhaust "UP MARKS" do not line up exactly. Can I continue or should I do something else first. Does the car/engine have to be perfectly level? Also, I didn't see anything that looks like a gasket when I removed the cover.

So I checked my valves, all the exhausts were a bit too tight to comfortable get the .007 guage in (fit with force). Adjusted them a tiny bit looser (easy.007, forcably with .008) and put the cover back on. I did this in firing order with the cams turned to their respective positions each time...

I watched a few YouTube videos on adjusting my valves on my 2006 CRV and after adjusting accordingly noticed quite a bit of "Chatter" at the valve train. Not sure if that is normal, as "Eric the Car guy" adjusted a HONDA Element (same engine) and his had 'chatter' as well. Does anyone know if...

I had my valves adjusted Monday as well as valve cover gasket replaced. Mechanics didn't say anything about the engine leaking. By Tuesday I was smelling hot chemical during my evening drive, when idle at stoplights. Thought it might have been the fixative they used on the VCG or maybe a dribble...

Hello all, Stephen here. I've read these forums for a long time, and have learned much. Shadetree mechanic and I've finally gotten around to joining. I'm driving my 2nd Honda, the first being an 89 Civic (loved it) and now the incomparable Gen1 B20Z2 2001 CRV-EX AWD in Electron Blue. We are at...

Hey, I just aquired a 1999 CRV with 80K miles on it.. I do a lot of stuff of my own, but i feel that a Honda Dealer would be a better fit for this type of work. Looking to see what you all recommend the cost should be for Honda Dealer: -Valve Adjustment and seal replacement. (head gasket and...
