Pro tip: leave the feeler gauge in place and tighten the adjuster screw until it drags a little bit, and then tighten the nut in place. This will make it so that the gap is perfect every time. Valves should also always be adjusted when the engine is cold for it to be accurate (at least on Hondas, other manufacturers may vary)

Good job. Small advice: before removing the valve cover try blowing/wiping off dirt and grime around the area so nothing gets inside the valvetrain later.

Just bought an 07’ Fit Sport and loving this channel! Looking to more Fit content

I bought an automatic gd3 as a daily this past summer and just been building it back up on the side, it’s been great watching this series.

Great DIY! Covers all the small details I tend to get lost at. Much appreciated

Loving the fit content, really good production!

Recently subscribed and loving your channel man. Love your wheels and that color. I have an 08' automatic in silver. I drive it very frequently but don't have a lot of miles on the tac just due to my current distance to work and previous job had insane amounts of traffic but It needed a valve adjustment about 3 years ago at 73K. The engine was sounding like it needed it again the last few weeks so I actually dropped it at the mechanic and then came home to see you posted this video. Haven't gotten the car back yet to see what they say but I really suspect it just needed another valve adjustment but definitely seems early since it's only 3 years, 10k miles. I'm not sure if you're every 100K is accurate and mine is an odd ball or if these really need adjustments more frequently depending on how they're driven/what climate they're in. Keep the Fit content coming tho!

The best video ive seen on this car yet !subbed

I just bought an 07 with 208k had 3 misfires (1/2/3) and the rocker arm 1 code. I was getting TRASH fuel. Like 20-26mpg. I replaced the sparks and ignition coils. Used some Techron and 93. Fuel went from previous MPG to 31mpg documenting it over time. Just ordered the VVT Solenoid and we’ll see what happens. Appreciate the video. Might take a crack at valve timing soon. None the less I want to crack this engine and see what it looks like after 208k miles hoping to turn it into a nice daily that can be taken to the track for the wife and I.

Very clear and good video. I have never opened an engine like this before but now I feel confident.

Thanks man. Just completed this. Hope you find another fit soon

new gd3 fit owner here, and im glad someone made a video for this. seems like a super easy job to do

Clean build! My GD needs some TLC like this

Damn you just made this look easy. Pretty confident I can do this now 😂 thank you.

i just replaced my spark plugs so i should've done this at that time, i am getting 34 mpg average though, so i'll wait a few more tanks to perform this adjustment, thank you for the tutorial :)

If you can turn a screw driver you can prolly do this hahaha Great videos! Very empowering for diy guys like me!

This is the best closeup 9f this job, very helpful thank you!

Thanks so much for the detailed video! I will be doing this soon so it will help immensely! Just an fyi, it is recommended to torque your spark plugs to 20lbs-ft! They updated the torque spec because these engines are known for plugs loosening and causing blow outs! KZfaq won’t let me post links, but it is a well documented problem if you google it.

Based on NGK's recommendation, I wouldn't use anti-seize on their plugs. It can affect torque values. I never used anti-seize on my NGK plugs on my 08 and never had any issues of them getting stuck.

Perfect explanation. Thanks só much

I dont have this specific car, but man GREAT VID. subbed

So nice! Thanks a lot

Do you know if doing this valve adjustment is the same for an automatic 08 Fit? Also, you went from cylinder 1 to 3. Does cylinder 2 and 4 come after in that specific order with the turning of the crankshaft? Btw, keep up the great content 😁👍🏻

In the valves it's usually the exhaust side that gets tight ...

Great video! I’m using for my valve adjustment for this following weekend. Is it really required to take the passenger wheel off same as spark plugs?

Awesome video! Thank you for the attention to detail with torque specs. How did you end up getting that snapped bolt out?

Funny i just found this after completing it myself. Something about the search algorithm didn't bring it up on my other youtube account but found it while searching "Honda Fit Valve Noise" which leads me to other part of comment. How much noise is normal? I completely removed the harsh ticking but its audible, although atleast even now, more like even light tapping now. First valve adjustment i've ever done by myself so i'm left wondering how much noise is normal. I also did a bit of a maverick move, maybe not terrible but left exhaust side near max correct adjustment (.012) since i've heard as they go out of spec over time intake loosens and exhaust tights and last thing i wanted was anything leading to a burnt exhaust vale. I figure i may of ended up with a bit more noise like this but hard to know whichout hearing another Fit. Any thoughts? Great guide overall would of happily used it if the algorithm would of thrown it my way, not sure what was up with that.

Thanks brother good useful information thanks

Just snapped off two injector bolts and one valve cover bolt, how'd you get yours out?? it seems too tight of a spot to fit a drill, at least for the injector bolts Amazing video by the way, great quality and visuals, love how in depth it was :)

Dam i only three times got 320 miles on one tank then consistently got 280 to 290 which like exactly what u said is not bad but since others get 40 i want 40 i did a whole new top end and now my car is running rich and wont pass ny inspection its driving me crazy i still get the same 290 mpg which kills me i might need to do the adjustment again again

I left coils and plugs in place; the engine is very easy to rotate even with plugs in

my range on a a full tank is like 230 the mpg is so bad i did the valve adjustment and it didn't change anything

Mine is starting to tick at idle and what mileage has always been surprisingly bad for a car this small.

Does this apply to an 09 Honda fit? And if not what would be the difference?

Do you recall ignition bolt size?

my valves on my 2007 honda fit are chattering/rattling

Hey man how did you get the snapped bolt out, same thing just happened to my gd. Need some guidance as what to do if you don't mind. Thanks alot!

This is my problem I’m getting 22 mpg

Is this applicable for honda fit with 1.3 idsi engine?

I had a 2008 and after doing my valves and plugs it ejected one (after around 15k). I had used anti seize and the factory torque specs. Luckily they were able to helicoil it but I’m a bit leery about the torque specs doing my 09 fit today. I’ll take a video or 2 and note the differences but it should be pretty similar. Plan on torquing plugs to 20ft lbs and no anti seize.

whats the reasoning for removing the spark plugs?

Do you know if these work on GE8 ?

My 2010 Honda Fit Sport has 340k plus miles.

you only get 344 miles on a tank for the honda fit ? you have done something wrong lol i get 440 ! i have same car but we call it a honda jazz over here

I just did this and I forgot to change out the plugs!🤦🏻‍♂️

Great details, done my fit recently (second adjustment around 120K; first one was around 60K; this time clearances had changed very little, compared to the readings after first adjustment) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d756hLiVs9GRgqs.html Smart thing for using genuine Honda gasket, Felpro was not the good one

Jeeeeezzz mu 08 fit is fked up, i get 190 per tank lmaoooooo

Hand crank the engine a few times and recheck your work..... Not a pro tip. Any mechanic knows this....

I would leave those valves the fuck alone.
