someone help please...

 

You cant "adjust" them like you normaly would on most other motors, You have to reshim the lifter bucket.

Get a chilton or FSM for any car with a Dohc KA and it will show you how to shim the valvetrain. After you take all the specific mesurements, go to Nissan and buy the shims according to what thickness you need.

PS it sucks, and you will have to take the cams out to insert the shims. Lable the shims so they go back in their correct spot.

what cams are in the head? what clearances are you looking for?

 

stock s14 cams, but the blocks fully built? if that has anything to do with it

 

I dont see the reason you need adjusting unless your running aftermarket springs/cams. Have you measured the clearences? Are they out of specification?

 

idk, i just bought and swapped motor, its bottom end is built, and it has arp head studs, and cometic headgasket, all this stuff was done less than 1500 miles on it, i threw it in and now something in the head is rattling, and its only once it gets to about 2500-3000 rpms, i was told its the valves... SOMEBODY HELP!!!

 

2500-3000 rpm is rod knock country unfortunately.

Do this..

Rev your motor to the point when it makes the noise. Then unplug injector #1 and see if the noise goes away.... while holding it still at that rpm. If not replug injector #1 and move down the line of injectors. If the noise goes away on any of the injectors you unplugged, you just found your rod knock.

thanks martin, but ive had a rod knock before and it dosent sound like a knock at all, its clearly comin from the head, and more of a rattle sound and i meant i heard it at bout 3k rpms, i was scared to go higher.. if nobody can come check it out, guess im towing it over to you guys..

 

thanks a lot martin, im gonna try it out tomorrow..i pray that your wrong though..lol
