I came home and someone messed up the order I put my valve lash. They all look and measure the same but are there any differences between the intake valve lash and the exhaust? I also see numbers.. In what order do they belong? The Specs doesn't matter since im just going to redo it. B18A head. Thanks in advance.

thats right.
INTAKE: 0.006" - 0.007" (0.15mm - 0.19mm)
EXHAUST: 0.007" - 0.008" (0.17mm - 0.21mm)

also if u are looking at the engine do them in this order "3-2-4-1" 1 bring the furthest to the right. and 3 being furthest to ur left

exhaust should be about .18in and intake should be about .10in or (.018 in and .010 in. i forgot which one :oops:)

whoa no stop, intake is .006 and exhaust is .007 on the feeler gauge, just adjust them,
and get ourself this tool only $20 will save you a headache with the jam nuts

thats right.
sorry i forgot the b18a is different then the b18b the correct clearances are
INTAKE: 0.006" - 0.007" (0.15mm - 0.19mm)
EXHAUST: 0.007" - 0.008" (0.17mm - 0.21mm)

Thanks for the specs.. My apology for not being clear enough. The head is pretty much empty since i pulled it off the vehicle to change the head gasket. i put the Valve lash on the side and someone knocked it down.. what i meant is, does it matter if i put the valve lash from the intake to the exhaust since i lost its order. or theres no difference?

theres no difference, you just have to adjust them after everything is torque down, every cam lobe has different clearances thats why you have to adjust them with the feeler gauge
