Hot adjustment on the 1.3 engine is .009-.011 clearance on the Intakes, and .010-.012 clearance on the Exhaust valves
All 1995 engine variants have hydraulic tappets, removing any need for (or even possibility of) valve clearance adjustment.
Yes it sure will, but it can also be the valves need adjustment.
Engine needs to be cold when performing overhead adjustment. Spencer's is .16" intake and exhaust valves closed.
The valves use hydraulic lifters and need no adjustment. If you feel there is a problem you need to look farther.
The valves are adjusted by loosening a 10 mm jam nut and checking the clearance with a feeler gauge. A certain procedure must be followed. Just Google "denlors valve adjustment article" for detailed "how to" instructions for most 4cyl Honda engines.
You need to clearify, what U need to know.
The exhaust valves should have .005 inches of clearance, and the intake valves should have .004 inches of clearance.
The single overhead cam 2.0 sohc usually bends valves. The 2.0 dohc, dual overhead cam, is usually ok.
Most likely it's your valves in need of adjustment.
Begin by removing the cover to the valves. Each valve will have an adjustment screw. Turn the adjustment screw to adjust the valves in your 1972 motorcycle.
You have to set the piston at Top Dead Center (TDC). I beleive the lash adjustment (valve clearance) is .004 to .006 in. That means thousandths. Once you have set piston at TDC (valve springs will not be compressed but extended on the compression stroke at TDC). You can now set the lash adjustment by loosening the set nut and bolt. You need a feeler gauge to do this. Set lash on both valves then recheck.
