valve lash & engine heat
Does valve lash (clearance or play) become tighter or looser, as the engine heats up, in an S2000 engine?
Thanks!
Thanks!

As the engine gets hot the valve clearances tend to close up as the parts heat.
That's why they're set cold (Honda specifies no more than 100°F) and the recommendation is to set at the top of the scale. For exhaust valves this is 0.011".
