Am I seeing the Helms correctly where it shows to use the feeler gauge between the cam and the rocker on a B18C1?
On my D15 civic motor, i was running the feeler gauge between the rocker and the top of the valve retainer thing, right where i was adjusting.
Am I allright on this? It sure is easier to just slide the gauge between the cam and the rocker...makes the adjustment a peice of cake.

Joe, don't you need a special tool to do valve clearances on the VTECs? (more than feeler guage and wrench). I haven't seen many posts on this board about valve clearance. I used to do my valves on my 240Z once/month, as well as on all my Honda motorcycles.

All you need is a feeler gauge, wrench and a flathead screwdriver. No special tool is needed. On my D16 I adjust the clearances just like you did on your D15. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with B series motors. If the helm's says to do it a certain way it's gotta be the right way. I'm sure either method would be fine though.

Charged R, in the helms it looks like you need a special tool to get in there, but as waveoff mentions, I should be able to just break the locknut and adjust with a flathead.
Still not 100% certain the cam/rocker location is the best place to measure with the feeler gauge. I guess thats what the helms is saying though, and I guess it makes sense...just trying to be ceratin i dont #$$^@ things up.
