Okay guys I've searched for the last 10 minutes and I could only find H22 specs. What are the clearances for a H23 valve adjustment? Thanks in advance.

I found this website on adjusting valve clearances for S2000 and Prelude Vtec. Is the procedure for the H22 the same as the H23 or is there some type of difference? This seems like a pretty good write up.......I'd like to use it for my H23 if possible.

do people know that there are other manuals, i.e. Chiltons? we did just fine with a chiltons for our complete teardown and rebuild. albiet it wasnt the greatest, it had 85% of the stuff we needed....and I didnt have to sell my soul to get it!

PRelude787 · 10-31-2003, 09:31 PM

I have a chilton........it helped me put a new clutch in....i couldn't have done it without it............but all in all....the book is VERY vague about pretty much everything!

And isn't chilton the only other book out there besides helms....for 92-6 preludes?

SkyHighBB2 · 10-31-2003, 10:07 PM

yes it is quite vauge, considering it covers i think accords from like 82-96? and preludes 82-96.

and one of my friends followed the chiltons manual for replacing spark plug wires and after the car wouldnt start for a while, he found out that the chiltons manual was wrong and thats what was causing his problem. helms are like $60? well worth it.
