I have no idea what type of valves lifters a Honda engine uses but I can't imagine it has solid lifters. Look in your owners manual. See if there is any mention of valve adjustment in there.

If the repair shop you are using tells you the muffler bearings need to be replaced and your taillight fluid was low and they topped it off you will know for sure they are scamming you.

Honda still maintains adjustable valves in a lot of their engines.

Thanks Rick.
it's a V-tec engine if that means anything? I think any problems stem from the the propane system that the dealer installed before I bought the car. in my opinion a car should run 40,000km without need of a major service and I'm fairly certain norwegian consumer protection laws will agree with me.
By the way, Rick. as far as coming in with something funny and something pretty, you went 3 for 2.

Rick V 12-11-2009 01:59 PM

The 08 Honda Ridgeline has adjustable valve lash. the settings are Intake .008-009 and the exhaust is .011-.013
Those measurements are in inches and need to be done with an engine temp below 100deg F

the_webbster 12-11-2009 02:28 PM

TMI!

just kidding. not all of us know what to do with that information! I suppose as long as its adjustable there's a chance for them not being properly adjusted.

now to see about those exhaust bearings!

nynor 12-11-2009 02:29 PM

good afternoon, guys. i just woke up after a 12h night shift.

nynor 12-11-2009 02:36 PM

there is a porsche part listed as 'exhaust bearings', for the GT2, if i am not mistaken.

Rick V 12-11-2009 03:00 PM

The Dodge Viper has a part listing for a muffler bearing. So much for using that joke anymore.

porsche4life 12-11-2009 10:40 PM

Do I have to do all the damn work around here? WAKE UP!

slodave 12-11-2009 10:42 PM

Rick V 12-12-2009 01:13 AM

Howdy Y'all

slodave 12-12-2009 01:17 AM

Morning.

Rick V 12-12-2009 01:19 AM

I was supposed to be off toady, was gonna go look at enclosed car trailers, guess who is working on his day off.

slodave 12-12-2009 01:20 AM

How many guesses?

Rick V 12-12-2009 01:22 AM

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
how many ya need?

slodave 12-12-2009 01:24 AM

For a grumpy guy, you are soft. Tell the boss to f-off.

Rick V 12-12-2009 01:26 AM

Well we only run one guy on Sat. It is the other guys turn to work. He is going through a rough divorce and is heading to N.C. to spend the weekend with his Mom. I always tell my boss to grab my bag when he wants me to work beyond the 60+ I already put in.
Don't worry I am still grumpy

Rick V 12-12-2009 01:58 AM

Okay so what do you do when you have a screwed up truck bed with a working tailgate? You make a outdoor seat out of it. This is a friend of mine who owns a custom chopper shop, not like OCC but true customs.

His daughter is 17 I think.
The scrotum race is something not to be missed.

livi 12-12-2009 03:50 AM

Morning, boys. Crisp, sunny, winter day here in south of Sweden. Time for the old 3.2 to show her colors. You all know what that means. A ripping 45 mph on the long straights. No holding back. Wooohoo!

slodave 12-12-2009 04:03 AM

48.5.... Come on, do it...

svandamme 12-12-2009 04:45 AM

svandamme 12-12-2009 06:36 AM

In fact it is made of two hollow aluminum frames and a plastic hollow barrier in between, so you get three chambers.
I've worked for a company that made and installed aluminum doors and windows.
They only used Reynaers profiles.
Reynaers makes about the alumuninum profiles (for windows and doors) you can buy.
Also keep in mind that the surface of the frame is a lot less than that of the glass. So K value of the glass pane is more significant than that of the frame.

svandamme 12-12-2009 07:47 AM

either way, it should make a serious difference compared to the antique wood/ single pane stuff i have now...
you've seen em G, i'll know when it's freezing outside with those...

Geronimo '74 12-12-2009 07:50 AM

And hello too. :)

I'll be getting lucky again tonight, severeral times...

Wooohoooo!!

It will make a BIG difference, in insulation and maintenance.

svandamme 12-12-2009 07:52 AM

from what you told me, the wind can shift direction at any time...

My cat's seem to like the soup

Rick V 12-12-2009 12:38 PM

Got my new seat brackets for the buckets in the truck all fabbed and welded. I have come to the conclusion that I can not weld pretty when I am sober.

svandamme 12-12-2009 12:47 PM

buckets in a truck?

Rick V 12-12-2009 01:20 PM

Yup. Being a manual trans with a dog leg shifter the middle of the seat is a waste of space. Gonna install a console in between the seats

porsche4life 12-12-2009 01:22 PM

Ya... We had an '89 with a stick... That middle seat was worthless... Now that 12v motor was killer... The rest of the truck was uhh... Edgy at best.... You could turn the wheel like a whole turn before the wheels moved... It was well used...


Got the car trailer hooked up to the Strawberry beast... Get up in the morning and load the car on the trailer and go do some autocrossing... Now I need to go get ready for the PCA christmas party tonight....

the_webbster 12-12-2009 03:01 PM

good day gentlemen.
Just back from a run to the border, first load of crap up to the new chalet in sweden, after a 2hr slogfest through christmas shopping at IKEA. One feels slightly more dignant knowing that one is at IKEA for a reason (have a house to fill) rather than using that place for entertainment. a somewhat 'better than though" feeling.

After that we pushed on further into sweden to the closest city where we bought wall and ceiling panelling for 5 rooms as well as wood flooring for 3. the trailer was a little 'tail happy' but we made it back to the house with it still attached to the truck and no casualties.

back home now. day of rest tomorrow and then a 5hr each way trek to a customer up north to do a product knowledge seminar. after that we'll be winding down to christmas!!

I just have a whole house to renovate...
