What have you done to your MSP today?

Stock caliper.... not stock rotor
Brakes_01.jpg
 
^^ hmm either the larger rotor (if it is larger, a lot larger than stock) makes the wheel look small, or the wheels are smaller.. looks like the caliper can barely fit in there lol
 
you should get one with us! we just need 5 more people, otherwise you'll just have to try to find a used one somewhere unless you have some connection with someone that I don't really know about, only way to get them is GB (toetap) lol

We'll see. It's a possibility. (hump)

What's the point of a bigger rotor with too small of a caliper? Isn't it the same braking power?
 
nice, I figure there kinda cheap, can't get them any other way for the most part, and hopefully ken will work something better out when he actually gets to it, he's suppose to call GT Spec and see what he can do with prices and stuff

I mean, if the price comes down I may be interested, but we'll see.
 
Hey guys i need some help in here. Im currently at the performance shop that is doing my engine and the engine, head and everything is assemble, my problems is My Mechanic is asking me for the JDM Cams valve clearance specs, i cant find them anywhere and Edwins website is down, do any of you guys can help me with this info. IN and EX JDM cams Valve clearance specs thats all i need..
 
Should be the same as the USDM clearance specs. I had them on my old car and they were a direct drop-in replacement. Just have to shim them to USDM specs, I believe.

no need to reshim the lifters, i just the the clearance spec of them, my mechanic is aking me for them in order to time and put everything how it should..

the clearance spec is what he's trying to get to reshim the lifters, is he not?

Don't know what other clearance he'd be worrying about.
 
yeah, so that he can set the shims. Which as jeff said is the same as US Spec.

ok, what is it since i dont have that info and i need it thanks


can somebody please post this info, i needed it badly we are waiting right now for it to continue putting the engine together. please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION [FS]

1. Remove the cylinder head cover. (See 01–10B–10 Cylinder Head Cover Removal Note.)
2. Verify that the engine is in cold condition.
3. Measure the valve clearance.
(1) Turn the crankshaft clockwise so that the
No.1 piston is at TDC of the compression
stroke.


(2) Measure the valve clearance at A in the
figure.

• If the valve clearance exceeds the
standard, replace the adjustment shim.

(See 01–10B–6 VALVE CLEARANCE
ADJUSTMENT [FS].)
Standard [Engine cold]
IN: 0.225—0.295 mm {0.0089—0.0116 in}
(0.260.035 mm {0.0100.001 in})
EX: 0.225—0.295 mm {0.0089—0.0116 in}
(0.260.035 mm {0.0100.001 in})


(3) Turn the crankshaft 360 clockwise so that
the No.4 piston is at TDC of the compression
stroke.


(4) Measure the valve clearance at B in the figure.
• If the valve clearance exceeds the standard, replace the adjustment shim. (See 01–10B–6 VALVE
CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT [FS].)
Standard [Engine cold]
IN: 0.225—0.295 mm {0.0089—0.0116 in} (0.260.035 mm {0.0100.001 in})
EX: 0.225—0.295 mm {0.0089—0.0116 in} (0.260.035 mm {0.0100.001 in})
4. Install the cylinder head cover. (See 01–10B–13 Cylinder Head Cover Installation Note.)


MECHANICAL [FS]

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT [FS]

Perform this same procedure for all camshafts requiring valve clearance adjustment.
1. Turn the crankshaft clockwise so that the cams on the camshaft requiring valve clearance adjustment are
positioned straight up.

2. Remove the camshaft cap bolts as necessary.

Note
• Remove only one pair of cap bolts at a time.
• Reinstall the cap bolts before removing the
next pair.
— A: For EX side No.1, 2, 3 cylinder
adjustment shim removal.
— B: For IN side No.1, 2, 3 cylinder
adjustment shim removal.
— C: For EX side No.2, 3, 4 cylinder
adjustment shim removal.
— D: For IN side No.2, 3, 4 cylinder
adjustment shim removal.
Note
• For EX side No.2, 3 cylinder adjustment shim removal, remove bolts either A or C.
• For IN side No.2, 3 cylinder adjustment shim removal, remove bolts either B or D.

3. Install the SSTs on the camshaft using the
camshaft cap bolt holes.
Tightening torque
11.3—14.2 Nm {115—145 kgfcm, 100—125
inlbf}

4. Align the marks on the SSTs (shaft and shaft
clamp).

5. Tighten bolts A to secure the SST (shaft).

6. Face the SST (body) outside of the cylinder head,
and mount it on the SST (shaft) at the point of the
adjustment shim to be replaced.

7. Face the notch of the tappet so that a fine
screwdriver can be inserted.

8. Set the SST on the tappet by its notch.

9. Tighten bolt B to secure the SST (body).
Caution
• Cylinder head can be damaged when the
tappet is pressed down.

10. Tighten bolt C, and press down the tappet.

11. Using a fine screwdriver, pry up the adjustment
shim through the notch on the tappet. Remove
the shim using a magnet.

12. Select proper adjustment shim.
New adjustment shim
= Removed shim thickness + Measured
valve clearance - Standard valve clearance
(0.26 mm {0.010 in})

13. Push the selected shim into the tappet.

14. Loosen bolt C to allow the tappet to move up.

15. Loosen bolt B and remove the SST (body).

16. Remove the SSTs and tighten the camshaft cap
bolts.

Tightening torque
11.3—14.2 Nm {115—145 kgfcm, 100—125 inlbf}

Nice Work, Jeff! (saving this info, just in case...lol)
 
In bold are the vital parts you need... sorry for it being so messy, was trying to post it quick for you!


I've accessed this stuff so often, its almost sad I can find it on such short notice... Can do a head gasket on a FS in my sleep practically!

i need both IN and EX since hes doing the everything i just need the clearance measurements.
