Hi all,
I've been (slowly) working on our old Ascott and nearly have it all back together after fixing a few issues (water leaks, oil leak, electric bug and air sensor) and currently have the valve cover off awaiting new spark plug gaskets.

Thought I would check/adjust the tappets however I don't have the settings anywhere?? Does anyone know what these should be, I have a 'chicken scratch' note in the garage but can't remember if it was for the Honda!?!?.

Note reads.
Cold : inlet 0.26mm (0.010 in) and Ex 0.30mm (0.012 in)

Does this sound right??

Those look correct for Accords I'm used to. Not sure what an Ascott is in USA.

good luck

 

he's way "down under" so the exhaust and intake adjustments are reversed

only thing i get from google for "ascot" is a honda motorcycle.

 

It's full name is a Honda Ascott Innova with a CB3 body type. It's a JDM Honda that was bought out to New Zealand and Australian markets only. Has many different model types, from the basic (what ours is) through to very high spec. Have put up a link below if interested, Cheers

cool, post some pics if you get a chance

 

Honda typically put a sticker under the hood that would list the valve specs. Other places you may want to look is in the driver door jamb or maybe the glove box. The owner's manual may have this information too.
