I have comp cam 1.6 self aligning rr. what do i have to do to adjust them because i think that they are too tight?

 

Why do you think they are "too tight"?

 

http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech2.html#adjust_valves Maybe this will help. If not, NOONE can explain it to you. That's about as simple as it gets.

 

because i dynoed the car a few weeks back and the power falls off hard and the car misses. The opti is relatively new, so i think its either that or valve float?

 

Pick a cylinder. Turn the crank until the exhaust valve just starts to open - stop and adjust the intake valve. Turn the crank over some more until the intake valve peaks open then starts to fall closed - stop halfway there and adjust the exhaust valve.

 

Compstall: Close but no cigar.

Replace the "Exh" with the "Intake" and you got it I.e., EOIC.

 

Woops, mah bad. My 10-month old daughter decided it was time to play at 3 AM today....

....fixed it.
