I just got my 2nd 1993 cb7. Its the f22a1 with 233K miles on it. It fires right up and doesnt smoke. But it runs and has a misfire. Now the guy I got it from recently put in new plugs and wires, as well as a new distributor. Now when I pulled the plug wires and plugs, they were covered in oil!!!!!!! Could the seals in there be the cause of this??????

usually it's the lower tube seals. you have to remove the rocker arm assembly to replace these.
There is a DiY on the whole thing. not too hard to do in half a day your first time. You may as well adjust your valves while your at it.

okay sweet!!!! Now, any help on valve adjustment would be greatly appreciated. is there a thread I can use for either problems as a reference???Comment

also be sure that the timing is set correctly. if a new distributor was installed, it may be that the previous owner was off by a few degreesComment

Do you own a Haynes repair manual? You can get one from any auto zone for ~15 dollars, one of the best investments you'll make for your car. There's a pretty good section explaining the valve adjustment procedure, and it's specific to your car, not some generic write up.
Autozone has a pretty good writeup:

The DIY here is excellent; I used it to replace the lower seals as well.Comment

Igntion timing I think is 15 degrees BTDC.
Those spark plugs seals come in a valve cover gasket set.Also remember to adjust the valves when the car is cold.Last edited by BLUBB2; 01-19-2009, 01:58 PM.Comment

now since we're right here I was wonderin about advancing my timing. any ideas on how far exactly to go????Comment
-
why? just keep it stock. unless you know exactly what you are doing, the timing should be kept around the stock numbers.Comment

I figured I might be able to pick up every bit of what little hp I can. I plan on a new f22 within the next month or so. So I rly dont care what happens to this one I have now.Comment

why would you all buy a manual when hondahookups.com has the complete honda service manual.. http://www.hondahookups.com
go there save your money, the valve adjustments is in the very first section of the manual._____________________________

Seeing as a Haynes is only about 15 dollars (sometimes less), it's not like a huge sacrifice. It's also very nice to have something in print while you're working instead of running back and forth from a computer.Originally posted by Slice One View PostComment
