On my 83 interstate, I followed the Clymers manual, and started on number 1, to dead center followed the book sequence, and then rotated the number 2 360 degrees, but all still rattle like crazy. Its driving me nuts. I also done the adjustment cold. I double checked them, and all seem correct. Can anyone help? God Bless. David

Are you sure you started with T1 for #1?? and set both #1 valves, 3 exh, 4 intake ..then rotated to T1 again and set the rest both #2's , 3 intake , 4 exh?? on a stone cold engine..over night cold??

Before you reset..check the clearances. Are they what they are supposed to be?? all around. If they are all right on then look elsewhere for your noise. When you insert the gauge it should be hard to slide in and have a slight drag when pulled back and forth.

Ditto what RB said. Stone Cold engine and double check. Also, make sure you're on the compression stroke and not the exhaust.

When properly adjustedthe bikeshould have a 'tick.'



Remember, adjusting the valves will put your carb. sync off, so you will need to have it done again.

If you feel the valves, carb sync are correct check the oil pressureat the main feedline.

With valve covers off, bike cold pick your test valve gauges for intake and exhaust. Example, for the intake and exhaust the right sizes

Your test gauges are a "go" and a "no go", for the intake the go is a .004" and no go is .005", for the exhaust the go is a .005" and no go is .006".

Rotate the engine pick the valves that are closed and do a go or no go test. If a no go then reset that valve. Do all the intakes then all the exhaust and redo a final time to check.

The temperature should be 90F or lower.

After the valves are set then synch the carbs.

Since you are pretty sure you did the valve adjustments correctly, would it make sense to do a carb sync before re-doing the valves?



Just a thought.....

pretty simple..just make sure the line is lined up on the crank and set the ones on the compression stroke...not too tight but not too sloppy.....006 int and oo8 ex....i think...repeat a few times to check....also if a belt is off 1 tooth that need to be fixed 1st

I just had a carb sync done a while back by a Honda tech with oveq 20 years ewperience. Didnt cost me anything. Its in the valve adjustment.David

Do you no longer have access to this tech? If I had one that would work for free........

Thanks. I called david, the retired Honda tech. And he's coming up wednesday to ret them for me at no cost. Great guy. Thanks for all your input. It only has an annoying tick above hdle, but very anoxhng. David

not sure how much this may help you. I have a 1980 gl1100 and I found out by pure mistake that setting the exhaust clearence slightly wider from 0.13 mm to 0.15 mm help eleminate this tick from mine.



It may well be because the engine is high mileage but this worked for me.



In essence the exhaust opens later and closes earlier.



As it is a change from standard all be it a small one it will be up to you if you want to try it on your bike. Mine has run on this setting for over 6 months now and no ill effects on plugs or performance.

2 things I can see…
First is the possibility that there is wear at the valve tips… where the adjuster screw contacts the valve. I've seen valves wear here and be noisy like you describe.
Second: I never practice the 'go/ no-go' method unless it's specified in the manufacturers service manual…. and it isn't specified in the Honda GL1100 service manual. It usually ends up with a 'looser than normal' adjustment.

Proper valve adjustment is a lot of 'technique' as opposed to 'instant adjust'…. if you know what I mean. It really helps to know exactly how tight the feeler gauge should be when getting the 'final feel' as you withdraw the gauge. It's also about knowing that sometimes when you tighten the lock nut the adjuster screw will turn slightly and tighten up on the adjustment. You have to compensate for that with a slightly loose feel and then tighten the lock nut so it falls into just the right spot.

I'd be inclined to take a look at the valve tips…. it'd be a good idea to inspect the cam lobes for wear also. It's really hard to see the rocker arm pad when it's installed in the head but if you can loosen up the valve adjuster a bunch and get a flashlight and mirror in there you might be able to get a good view.
Look for any wear on the cam and/or the rocker lobe. ANY WEAR IS BAD!! It should be perfectly smooth.

2 things I can see…
First is the possibility that there is wear at the valve tips… where the adjuster screw contacts the valve. I've seen valves wear here and be noisy like you describe.
Second: I never practice the 'go/ no-go' method unless it's specified in the manufacturers service manual…. and it isn't specified in the Honda GL1100 service manual. It usually ends up with a 'looser than normal' adjustment.

Proper valve adjustment is a lot of 'technique' as opposed to 'instant adjust'…. if you know what I mean. It really helps to know exactly how tight the feeler gauge should be when getting the 'final feel' as you withdraw the gauge. It's also about knowing that sometimes when you tighten the lock nut the adjuster screw will turn slightly and tighten up on the adjustment. You have to compensate for that with a slightly loose feel and then tighten the lock nut so it falls into just the right spot.

I'd be inclined to take a look at the valve tips…. it'd be a good idea to inspect the cam lobes for wear also. It's really hard to see the rocker arm pad when it's installed in the head but if you can loosen up the valve adjuster a bunch and get a flashlight and mirror in there you might be able to get a good view.
Look for any wear on the cam and/or the rocker lobe. ANY WEAR IS BAD!! It should be perfectly smooth.

I agree 100% with 95% of what you said!:ROFL:

It probably is the valve tip/adjuster screw contact point. Over aperiod of time, theyhave a tendancy to create a "sweet spot". Once you adjust the valves, you're no longer there, causing a slight amount of noise, which may or may not go away with time.

I don't think ARKnapp was talking specifically about a "no-go" feeler gauge. Simply that a four should fit, and a five shouldn't. Go-no-go gauges have a .002 differential which could leave the valves a little on the loose side, as you said.

Having said that, I use the go-no-go gauges all the time. But I've probably done a thousand valve adjusts on foreign and domestic cars and motorcycles, so I have the "feel".

Better five thousanths too loose than one thousanth too tight.

GLhonda has it right, better to play Jingle bells than silent night when it comes to valve lash adjustments.

Don't take this the wrong way.

Try adjusting the valves while the engine is running. Sounds kind of a stupid thing to do, but because of wear your ears and hands will know when it is right with the gauge confirming what your senses tell you. It is a bit messy but you will gain a lot of incite into and of your wing.

There are many things that are written in stone, the numbers of clearance for the particular cylinder and valve is one, but wear, age and time take their toll and often a caressing hand and a set of feeler gauges will dial that valve right in.

Once you have experimented and tried a too tight and a too loose setting, you will know exactly what I am trying to say. Then doing a synch which although a science becomes an art form as you dial everything in.

And the real test is the constant idle, the quick throttle response and the knowing that you got it just right...and the numbers although published may be close, but the exact numbers are now known...Record them for the next time as a starting point.

With a known set of numbers for your machine the starting point is an exact science for you.
