Bore Honing
l/easure cylinder bores as shown on page 7-14.lf the block is to be reused, hone the cylinders andremeasure the bores.
Hone cylinder bores with honing oil and a fine (400
grat) stone in a 60 degree cross-hatch pattern.
NOTE:
. Use only a rigid hone with 400 grit or finer stonesuch as Sunnen, Ammco, or equivalent.a Do not use stones that are worn or oroKen.
When honing is complete, thoroughly clean thecylinder block of all melal particles. Wash the cylin-der bores with hot soapy water, then dry and oilimmediately to prevent rusting.
NOTE: Never use solvent, it wili only redistribute
the grit on the cylinder walls.
lf scoring or scratches are still present in cylinderbores after honing to the service limit, rebore theengine block.
NOTE: Some light vertical scoring and scratching isacceptable if it is not deep enough to catch your fin-gernail and does not run the full length ofthe bore.
NOTE:
. After honing, clean the cylinder thoroughly withsoapy water.o Only scored or scratched cylinder bores must behoned.

CAUTION: When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut
th6 relay box lid and not to l€t coolant spill on th6 el€c-
trical parts or the paint. lf any coolant spills, rinse it off
immediately.
1. Slide the heater temDerature control lever to maxi-
mum heat.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
3. Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant.
4. Remove the drain bolt from the cvlinder block.

reinstall the bolt with a new washer and tighten it
securely.
6. Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
7. Remove, drain and reinstall the reservoir. Fillthe tank
halfway to the MAX mark with water, then up to
MAX mark with antifreeze.

8.Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal
amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
a Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.
a For best corrosion protection, the coolant concen-
tration must be maintained year-round at 500,6
minimum. Coolant concentrations less than 507o
may not provide sufficient protection against cor,
rosion or freezing.
a Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will im-
pair cooling efliciency and are not recommended.
CAUTION:
a Do not mix different brands of anti-lrcezel
coolants.
a Do not use additional rust inhibitots or anti-tustproducts; they may not be compatible with the
coolant.
