Afterburn, looks like you are working on something interesting!

More progress on the Interceptor- I'd go broke if I was turning wrenches for a living

The 16 valves have all been set, only 2 were at the factory clearance of .005in\ .12M
The other were a mix of too tight/too loose. It may just wear that way, but I always thought valves almost always get looser with wear.
Then again the last Honda shop maniac, er mechanic may not pay as close attention to detail as I do.

Tasty engineering


My ultra comfortable work space with built in heat, music and an execuglide chair


Checking, checking- motor manual sez use 2 feeler gauges when setting valves actuated by the same cam. So I did... takes me anywhere from 1 to 4 attempts to get em just right.
One skill I learned when I was 18 and owned a 67 VW bug- how to set valves. I did that a lot!!
