Valves are tricky beasts, a motor with 120k can be within spec while a motor with 12k can be way off. If you hear ticking from the valve train that usually indicates they are slightly out of spec. Mine were way out of spec and very loud, but since the rebuild theyve been perfectly silent.

Tarzan - Were you launching in second on the bike? I noticed the front end didnt lift at all, and it seemed like way too long of a gear to be in first. Looked good though

 

my motor had a tad bit of tapping coming from the valves, but it's quiet IMO. The purge solenoid is just as loud as the "ticking"

I dunno... for the money I dunno if it's worth all the hassle. If I knew they needed adjusting I'd be inclined to do so.

My car was driven in bumper to bump traffic for it's first 8 years/81000kms... so that could screw the valves up a bit I guess, right??


See my proble.. when its valves/lifters were screwed u heard them banging around, in comparison to my CL now it's like 4-5times quieter.

Car pulls very hard tho, and is very quiet all things considered... so I dunno how i'd tell if i need an adjustment

 

thats not my bike, its my buddies. 05 R1 w/ full exhaust, power comm. and sprockets. i have another vid of him coming up on the launch. he ran a 9.96 when it was stock, but he said the gearing made it too short and it was impossible to keep the front down now w/o an extended swing arm. hes an amazing rider, .003-.005 r/t non-stop, but idk what he was launching at.

 

I guess im going to be the only cl-p vids posting soon...... YEAAAA

 

It really isnt based on driving conditions. The valves can be a random issue. One car can be driven just like yours for 8 years with noisy valves, while another may not. If you have any mechanic friends, ask them to listen to them. Dont ask the service tech at a dealer, theyre just trying to sell you shit.

Cool. He did launch it pretty well in that vid. I think I only heard 3 gear changes, so I was assuming he launched in second especially with how long he held onto that gear.



I just finished most of my camera mount. I need to do a few little things to it before its ready for action. Hopefully by the end of the week.

 

well my local mechanic (who's my buddy) works for my local DLR. and he does work on the side. and he even told me my car is mint and it's a waste of money pretty much.

if anything it's preventative maitenance, not gonna get me any HP.

lol.

I asked him if i'd gain hp and he laughed at me

Huh?

Jacob - The car looks good. GET THOSE DAMN HEADERS ASAP!

 

You can just call me Jake. Thanks man, im getting headers and these rims soon:

 

Nice, should look good Jacob

 

fuck you

 

I kid

 

 

if you drive 14 miles a week then its a waste... buy me headers ill enjoy much more lol

 

No way man im edging it out a little more now. I'm at 54,650 miles now


And we would enjoy headers evenly, but you would use them more oftain.....

 

WOAH! 54,650!!! Thats 53k less then my car lol

 

car looks sweet jake...nice and clean...
do you have comptech axlebacks only? i wanna swap my exhaust but i don't want a loud annoying sound. from doing alot of research it seems comptech are the best for sound...no rice

 

The CTs are quiet until you get on it, then they liven up. But theyre nowhere near rice.

 

The CT's are quiet BUT i modified mine by getting my B-Pipe removed so now there loud but not ricey loud

 

thanks...i have been searching all over for comptech mufflers and headers...i found some new mufflers for like $500...so much money for comptech stuff..friggin headers are ridiculous too...i'm prob gonna go with dc ceramics...but i won't settle for anything less then comptech muffs

 

you can get a set of magnaflows and have the stock tips put on and it sounds real good a couple of guys have done this including me only cost about 200 for install and mufflers

 

But the Magnaflows are louder.

 

i was actually looking at the magnflows for a while but after hearing them on youtube and a few other places...not for me... as civic said too loud
although might be interesting to hear magnaflows with stock tips..

+1 too loud
