Ok I'm having issues with a noise in my y8 above 3500 RPM, kinda sounds like a rod knock. I've already replaced a rod bearing that was hammered out and now I believe the noise is in the top end. I do have a zex stage 2 cam shaft in it, so my question is what is the valve lash supposed to be set at? Thanks in advance.

intake .008"

exhaust .010"

This is from memory, wait til someone confirms with a helms.

Right. Intake 0.007-0.009 in., exhaust 0.009-0.011 in. according to the '96 Civic helms manual.

Thanks guys that isn't the problem I checked it and it was all arround that area and the noise is still apparent. Back to the drawing board.
