Re: Where To Get Tappet Locknuts?
Nevermind. Just ordered from Honda.
Still curious though as to if you guys use a torque wrench and torque to spec, or just do it by feel. Also, I've seen several write ups, and a youtube vid, of this being done, and in all of them, they're using the feeler gauge under the tappet screw. In the actual Honda service manual, not the helms, they show it being done in between the cam lobe and rocker arm. Does anybody do it this way? |

^^ this.
I use a 3/8 torque wrench for small stuff with low torque. 1/2" gets the nod for big n tight stuff like crank bolt. And a beam wrench for low torque stuff where a pound or two off is ok like t-tstat housing or valve cover bolts.

Failure to tighten them to spec will have you going back in there to readjust them within months or probably less. Same thing with the valve cover bolts it's super easy to strip those bolts or even break the stud since they are only 8.7lbs.
