Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry.
Apply liquid gasket, part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003, to the head cover gasket at the eight corners
of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old
residue.
. After assembly. wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.
Apply liquid gasket tothe shaded areas.
Hold the head cover gasket in the groove by placing
your fingers on the camshaft holder contacting sur-
faces (top of the semicirclesl.
Once the cylinder head cover is on the cylinder
head, slide the cover slightly back and forth to seat
the head cover gasket.
Inspect the cover washers. Replace any washer that
is damaged or dete(iorated.

Installation
1. Apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves andcylinder bores.
It the crankshaft is already installed.
2. Set the crankshatt to BDC for each cylinder.3. Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of theconnecting rod bolts.
4. lnstall the ring compressor, and check that the bear-ang is securely in place.
5. Position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in usingthe wooden handle of a hammer. Maintain down-ward force on the ring compressor to prevent ringstrom expanding before entering the cylinder bore.6. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and checkthe connecting rod-to-crank journal alignmentbefore pushing piston into place.
7. Install the rod caps with bearings, and torque theNUIS IO:

ECM/PCM Data
By connecting the OBD ll scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P data link connector (OLC), various data can be
retrieved from the ECM/PCM. The items listed in the table below conform to the SAE recommended practice
The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that recommended by SAE.
understanding this data will help to find the causes of intermittent failures or engine problems.
NOTE:
The ',operating values" given below are approximate values and may be different depending on the environment and
the individual vehicle.
Unless noted otherwise. "at idle speed" means idling with the engine completely warmed up, transmission in position
Park or neutral and the A,./C and all accessories turned otf.

Diagnostic
Trouble Code
(DTC)
lf the ECM/PCM detects a problem, it will store it as a
code consisting of one letter and tour numbers
Depending on the problem, an SAE-defined code (Poxxx)
or a Honda-defined code (P'lxxx) will be output to the
tester.
lf no problem is detected,
there is no output.
YES
Engine SpeedThe ECN4/PCN4 computes engine speed from the signals
sent from the Crankshaft Position sensor.
This data is used for determining the time and amount of
fuel iniection.
Nearly the same as

At idle speed:'97 - 98 models:

Vehicle SpeedThe ECM/PCM converts pulse signals from the Vehicle
Speed Sensor (VSSI into speed data.

Pressure (MAP)
The absolute pressure caused in the intake manifold by
engine load and speed.

Engine Coolant
Temperature
{ECT)
The ECT sensor converts coolant temperature into volt-
age and signals the ECM/PCM. The sensor is a thermistor
whose internal resistance changes with coolant tempera-
ture. The ECM/PCM uses the voltage signals from the
ECT sensor to determine the amount of injected fuel
With cold engine:

Heated Oxygen
Sensor (HO25)
(Primary,
Sensor 1)
(Secondary
Sensor 2)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor detects the oxygen content in
the exhaust gas and sends voltage signals to the
ECMiPCM. Based on these signals, the ECM/PCM controls
the airlfuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high (that is.
when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio), the
voltage signal is lower.
When the orygen content is low (that is, when the ratio
is richer than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal
is higher.
