NorE: The items m arked * 1, *2, +3, *4 and +5 on above chan are described as folows:*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because itdoes not contain the proper additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affectshift quality.+3: Use Genuine Honda cVTfluid only usingotherfluid can affect tra nsmission operation and may reduce transmission life.*4: Always use Genuine Honda DoT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and dec.ease the lifeof the svstem.*5: Always use Genuine Honda Power steering Fluid. using any other type of power steering fluid or automatrc transmissionfluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

timing plate; the synchronizing piston will pop out
and engage the intake secondary rocker arm.
Visually check the engagement of the synchronizing

NOTE;
The synchronizing piston can be seen in the gap
between the secondary and primary rocker arms,
With the timing plate engaged in the groove on

. When the timing plate is pushed up, it releases
the timing piston, letting the return spring move

NOTE:
. Valves should be adjusted only when the cylindsrhead temperature is less than 100"F (38"C).
. After adjusting, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt(see page 6-16).
1, Remove the cylinder head cover.
NOTE; Refer to page e46 when installing the cytinderhead cover.
2. Remove the upper cover (see page 6-19).
3. Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. The "UP" mark on the
cam-shaft pulley should be at top, and the TDC
marks should align with the cylinder head surface.
