Hello, are there different valve clearances for different versions of the J35 motor? I have a 2014 RDX, are these the right clearances?

Intake: 0.20 - 0.24 mm (0.008 - 0.009 in.)
Exhaust: 0.28 - 0.32 mm (0.011 - 0.013 in.)

And it looks like the OEM spark plug gap is .44 but there are some plugs for sale that are .3 or .35 or something like that, any reason to use a smaller gap than OEM?

Thank you!

Usually, proper spark plug gap & valve lash specs, for the engine in the car, can be found on the factory supplied 'vehicle emission control information' sticker under the hood.

 

Thanks! I will take a look. I didn't know that.

 

Hello,

I looked under the hood, there is no sticker about the spark plug gap or valve clearance. Were you putting one over on me... there is a sticker with emissions info but nothing about valve clearance etc.

Does anyone know what the valve clearance should be and what gap I should use?

Thank you

 

I found the answer in the RDX service manual.

 

Here is the under hood sticker, on my 21 year old CL-S six speed, with said information clear as day.
It looks like Acura must not provide that information to its late model consumers anymore?
