of the block, then install the oil pump on the cylin-
der block.
Apply grease to the lips of the oil seals.
Thgn, align the inner rotor with the crankshaft and
install the oil pump. When the pump is in place,
clean any excess grease off the crankshaft. Check
that the oil seal lips are not distorted.

lnstallation
NOTE:
. Engine removal is not required.
. The crankshaft oil seal housing should be dry.
Apply a light coat of grease to the crankshaft and to
the lips of the seals.
1. Using the special tool, drive in the timing pulley-
end seal until the driver bottoms against the oil
pump.
When the seal is in place, clean any excess grease
off the crankshaft and check that the oil seal lip is
not distorted.

2. Measure the flvwheel-end seal thickness and the oil
seal housing depth. Using the special tool. drive the
flywheel-end seal into the rear cover to the point
where the clearance between the bottom of the oil
seal and the right side cover is 0.5 - 0.8 mm (0.02 -
0.03 in) (see page 7-23).
NOTE: Align the hole in the driver attachment with
the Din on the crankshaft.

22. Installthe oil pump on the cylinder block.
Apply grease to the lip ot the oil pump seal.
Then. install the oil pump onto the crankshaft.
When the pump is in place, clean any excess grease
off the crankshaft and check that the oil seal lip is
not distorted.

Tips and Precautions
Bef ore Troubleshooting
. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
. Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery
ground cable has been disconneqted, otherwise you
will damage the alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery
ground cable loosely connecled or you will severely
damage the wiling,
Handling Connectois
. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
. Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except watertight connectors)
. All connectors have push-down release type locks.
Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pulltype lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its mount bracket.

. Check for loose retainer and rubber seals.
RETAINER
The backs of some connectors are packed with
grease. Add grease if necessary. lf the grease is con-
taminated, replace it.

In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure
resistance between two points along a circuit.
Low resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can
make a DVOM give a false reading. To check
a reading, reverse the leads, and take a
second reading. lf the readings differ, the
component is affecting lhe measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit.
A iumper wire is made up ot an in-line fuse
holder connected to a set of test leads. lt
should have a five amoere fuse. Never
connect a jumper wire across a short circuit.
The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locater)
Short finders are available to locale shorts to
ground. The short tinder creates a pulsing
magnetic field in the shorted circuit whlch you
can follow to the location of the short. lts use
is explained on page 15.
SHORT FINDER
To ordei any test equipment shown above,
contact your local tool supplier. For a list of
suppliers and tool numbers, refer to Honda
Required Special Tools and Equipment
Service Bulletin.

Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of
charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unlers
the battery ground cable has been
disconnected, or you will damage the
alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine wlth
the ground cable disconnected or you
will severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have
no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure lhat connectors without wire
seals are packed with dielectric (silicone)
grease. Part Number: 08798-9001 .
Pack wllh dlelectrlc (sillcons) greass
When connecting a connector, push it until it"clicks" into place.
Do not pull on the wires when
disconnecting a connector. Pull
only on the connector houslngs.
Most circuits Include solid-state
devlces. Test the voltages In these
circuits only with a lo-megaohm or
higher impedance digital multlm6ter.
Never use a test light or analog meter
on chcuits that contain solld-state
devices. Damage to the devices
may result.
