Has anyone noticed that the shim calculation method in the Honda service manual and owner manual winds up giving you the wrong
shim size needed when you follow it to completion. The CRFS online calculator is spot on when you put the values in.
I have searched this topic here and had not found any previous discussion about it.
If you use the Honda manual formula you will end up with valves that are still a little tighter than spec. I am just wondering what is missing in their calculation method and why in the hell would they publish that?
