Should I adjust valves on a Honda Civic? Here is what I found out.

[@Fiat-Domine]

Followed your instructions to clean the throttle body and adjust the valves on my 2010 civic with 147k miles. Several valves were a little loose and a couple on the tight side. Engine is now running smooth and no more slight tapping noise from the valves. I was going to replace the transmission filter while I had the air filter box removed. Surprise, no filter on my 2010. Maybe it's hidden away somewhere else. Thanks for all your fantastic maintenance and upgrade videos.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Appreciate your success story

[@Fiat-Domine]

@@leftonseen690 not sure about that. Immediately after I was getting 29mpg, but I hadn't performed the throttle relearn. It was idling at around 1600. I did the throttle relearn and that brought the idle down to around 700 and I got around 32 mpg on the first tank after fixing the idle.

[@allegory7638]

Tip: After loosening a valve's adjustment screw, insert the desired feeler gauge and gently tighten the screw until there is a slight drag. Then tighten locknut. Will save some time and guessing by tightening to the gauge. Tip: Clamp a vise grip pliers to your screwdriver if you don't have that nifty tool. Use a screwdriver that wedges well into the adjustment slots.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Thanks for adding this information appreciated

[@Disappointed739]

Some more tips: A box end wrench and a good screw driver used together work well. As this video emphasizes, it is very important to double-check your work, both after you tighten each nut down and again after you have finished the last set of valves. You can set a valve incorrectly just by a burr or a scratch on your feeler gauge, so rotating the crank shaft several times and then going through and re-measuring everything again is a good idea. Finally, keep your tools reasonably clean. Don't use gritty or scratched up feeler gauges on your engine. Jus' sayin'.

Thanks, Danny, for another great video. I did this and cleaned the injectors on my 2006 Civic at the same time. Taking the cowl out helped for both jobs. It made a big difference. I have two suggestions for videos that would be very useful to Civic owners: 1) the notorious sunvisors; 2) all the little plastic clips. I've even struggled with figuring out part numbers with the Honda Parts guy. What they are, numbers, and, of course, aftermarket suggestions to save money on this little plastic parts the dealer charges too much for would be very useful.

[@jondrake5812]

Thank you so much for this video. I didn't have to research for hours on how to do this. Did the intake and exhaust valves, all of which were out of spec on my 07 civic. It runs smooth as butter. The information you put on this video is spot on, thank you.

[@bernlitzner2739]

I've got 83k on a 2009...great video explaining this. Not even sure it needed to be done at 150k. Good to know.

[@Disappointed739]

You adjust valve stem clearances to keep your valves from being damaged and to keep your engine running optimally (see below). The internet shows multiple references saying that if your engine has mechanical valve lifters, then you should consider adjusting them about every 50,000 miles to keep your engine in optimal condition. Even if you choose a longer interval, adjusting them every 100,000 miles is a good idea. Damage: The primary reason to adjust valve stem clearances is that if they are set too tight, they stay open longer than they are supposed to. Valves, especially exhaust valves, cool in part by dissipating heat through the valve seat while they are closed (which is about 3/4ths of the time--valves open 1 out of 4 strokes, right?). They can get excessively hot and warp or even melt at the edges if they stay open longer than they are supposed to. Maintaining optimum: The second reason to adjust valve stem clearances is that the engine was designed to open and close valves at specific times. The engine runs better and smoother, and is a lot quieter if the valves are set correctly. By the way, most of that sewing machine sound coming from the top of a Honda engine is the valve stems and rockers clicking together as they open and close, so a soft rhythmic snicking noise from the area is quite normal.

[@turquoisecat761]

I have a euro spec R18A2. My car is now on 141k miles, I've done the valve adjustment twice in my 70k ownership. To rotate the engine, I jack up front of car, put it in gear and turn the one of the front roadwheels. Also worth mentioning you need to apply some high temp RTV to the corner of valve cover and leave a few hours on reassembly. Finally, it was a good video but it would have been useful for the less mechanically minded to state the exhaust valves are nearer the front of the car.

One of the best videos about this issue on this type of Honda. My car is the same model and generation with yours. Mine is at 143000 miles. I haven’t heard any weird sounds yet. In your video, even at 150000 miles, those valves still hold up really well. Do you think I should wait till I notice weird sounds or go ahead and have shops check it out at specific interval? This job is kinda beyond my ability. :))

[@dannysdiygarage]

As mine were only slightly out of adjustment, I would say you can wait, this is my opinion and based off my Civics findings, I also did a valve adjustment video on a Honda Element at 125k miles and that needed it, but that’s a different engine. Hopefully this helps you determine what’s right for you.

Correct, Depending on how out of adjustment they become, drivability issues, engine light, misfire, bad gas mileage, rough or unstable idle, lack of performance or noisy engine

What else should I expect to gain from valves adjustment Also i have noticed its a bit high on fuel in local traffic and wayy better on long routes with some degree of struggle when going uphill But that may be the prosmatic transmission Many thanks

I have European version of Civic Tourer with R18A2 engine ,model year 2014 with only 45k miles on it. Honda service book say 28k valve check and adjust but I guess if engine runs smooth there is no point to open it and check. I guess no need for adjustement before 60-80k miles or until consumption changes or valves start tapping.

[@dannysdiygarage]

I would wait till 100k, a lot of times the valves tighten up, not loosen,

[@JoseVega-yy4lt]

I have a big question and it is very confusing. I watched both of your videos honda element and honda civic valve adjusment. So which one is the exhaust valves and the intake? the ones on the back or the ones on the front? I just did this to my honda fit and its more noisy now. I truly think the adjustment I did is backwards.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Intake valves are closest to the intake manifold, exhaust valves are closer to the exhaust manifold, on this car exhaust is in the front of the car

[@JoseVega-yy4lt]

So every car's location for the intake and exhaust might be different? I kinda realized that when I watched your honda Element valve adjusment video the intake was in the front and exhaust in the back then on this civic is the opposite exhaust in the front and intake in the back

[@Nicholas-im8bd]

Probably because you have had push rod engines with hydraulic lifters that rid on the cam and the lifter can absorb a fair variation of lash. When I built my Gen 4 GM v8 with a bigger camshaft and Cadilac race lifters.. any variation that was outside of spec with the depth of preload on the lifters had to be solved with DIFFERENT LENGTH PUSHRODS! Hows that for a beloved engine not requiring valve adjustment? If you look how the valve train in these honds work, there is not spring loaded hydraulic rollers of any kind, nor do i see it being possible to add such an idea. The tech in the honda valve train may require valve adjustment but it also makes it possible to have a engine with great low end street manners, but also has a second cam profile that it switches too instantly while operating that gives the engine "big cam" high rpm power. Uts a give and a take. Adjusting valves is not difficult enough to throw a fit over. Not for the big positives these engines deliever

[@salvadormonella8953]

@@Nicholas-im8bd I've had engines, other than pushrod V8s, that didn't require valve adjustments, including engines from Nissan V6, GM V6, Ford V6, Kawasaki i4, BMW V8, Toyota i4, BMW i6, VW i4, & Ford V8. None of these engines required a manual valve adjustment. Some had overhead camshafts, some had pushrods. It turns out the necessity to adjust valve lash isn't limited to the Civic, apparently the Accord is the same. Thanks for the information regarding needing to change pushrods to compensate for extreme wear, but even replacing pushrods isn't all that bad. I can understand some of the benefits to having manually adjustable valves, but manufacturers have widely eschewed that technology for the benefits of less maintenance & longer maintenance intervals. I don't know which is more likely, a valve adjustment where the lock nut slacks off or a bad lifter. Whichever the case, I was still astounded when I found out a "tune up" meant adjusting the valves. Thank goodness I've done such work many times in the past, so the issue didn't cause a roadblock, I just found it astounding. Thanks for the input.

@@salvadormonella8953 You doing look hard enough. there is a third lobe between the lobe that operates the rockers that open the valve.

If you drove one of the performance orientated engines, you would find they NOTICEABLY pick up power at a certain rpm... this is due to this cam profile.

@@Nicholas-im8bd Well, $hit, you're learnin' me, then. I didn't notice anything exotic in there, other than the forest of valves, 16 of them, requiring me to check 16 clearance lashes. I had no manual, or instructions. Thankfully Honda labelled the valve sprocket to orient me to "true north." I did NOT notice any advanced variable valve timing voodoo, but then again it mighta been staring right at me and I didn't notice because such wizardry is so foreign, after-all. I will say this about Honda: Honda used to be my customer. In the late 2000s I had Honda, Toyota (both HQ in Torrance, CA), Mazda (Irvine, CA), & GM (El Segunda, CA) at the same time. Honda looks at themselves as an ENGINE company. They make ENGINES. The other stuff, the car body, or motorcycle frame, or generator cage, or lawn mower cutter, or whatever other parts are required to make a useful product only exist so that Honda can sell the engine. They DO NOT see themselves as a car (or motorcycle, or whatever) company. They make engines. The other stuff just helps them to sell the engine. This is very different from Toyota, who view themselves as a car company. Also, the U.S. Honda folks, unlike the U.S. Toyota folks, have very little autonomy. Japan calls the shots. All day, constantly,, dictatorially, to the great displeasure of the U.S. managerial team. Friction city, personnel-wise. In their lobby they have two race cars with tiny engines that produce a supernatural amount of power for the displacement. So, I guess I'm not surprised by variable valve timing, or variable valve lift, or whatever they have in there. I am still somewhat surprised by the very manual valve-adjustment at tune-up time. I also wonder; since Honda is so very married to the notion that they make engines (and the ancillary parts needed to sell those engines0, how will their psyche & zeitgeist change when electric motors dominate vehicles and Honda loses all those decades of development and engineering intelligence. The U.S. team is already miserable. Once they lose their reason de etre, the ICE, I imagine they will have a sort of collective psychological crisis. My first vehicle was a Honda. A Honda 90. I've had others, mostly motorcycles, so I'm not agin' Honda, but I will eagerly take on one of them contemporary NSXs in my Corvette, with its pushrod V8, any day of the week. There is no replacement for displacement. Thanks for the education. Keep the rubber side down. ;-)
