r(For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied, refer to the illustrated index and various work Dro-cedure (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation. etc.) contained in each section,
*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because itdoes not contain the proper addtuves.*2: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affectshift quality.*3: Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 B.ake Fluid, Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease thelife of the system.'4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid-V or S. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatictransmission fluid can cause increase v,/ear and poor steering in cold weather.

Valve Seals
Replacement (cylinder head removal not required)
The procedure shown below applies when using the in-
car valve spring compressor (Snap-on YA8845 with
Y AAA45-2A 1 /8" attachment).
!@@ When using this tool, as with any tool,
always use approved eye protection. Using the
fight tool tor each job helps increase productivity
while safeguarding tools, equipment and ihe user.
Turn the crankshaft so that the No. 1 and the No. 4pistons are at top dead center (TDC).
Remove the cylinder head cover.
Remove the distributor.
Loosen and disconnect the timinq belt from the
camshaft oullevs.
5. Remove the camshaft holder bolts, then remove the
camshaft holders, the camshafts and rocker arms.
Intake Valve Seals
6. Using the 6 mm bolts supplied with the tool, mount
the two uprights to the cylinder head at the end
camshaft holders. The uprights fit as shown.
7. Insert the cross shaft through the bottom hole of
the two uprights.
8.
9.
10.
Select the 7/8 in. diameter long compressor attach-
ment and fasten the attachment to the No. 4 hole of
the lever arm with the speed pin supplied.
Position the piston at TDC and insen an air adaptor
into the spark plug hole. Pump air into the cylinder
to keep the valve closed while compressing springs
and removing the valve keepers.
Position the lever arm under the cross shaft so the
lever is perpendicular to the shaft and the compres-
sor attachment rests on top of the retainer for the
spring being compressed. Use the rear position slot
on the lever as shown.
NOTE: Put shop towels over the oil passages toprevent the valve keepers from falling into the cylin-
der head.

NOTE: ldentify valves and valve springs as they areremoved so that each item can be reinstalled in its origi-nal position.
1. Tap e€ch valve stem with a plastic mallet to loosen
valve keepers before installing the spring compres-sor.
Install the spring compressor. Compress spring andremove valve keeper.

'1. Set the crankshaft to BDC for each cylinder.
2, Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sec-
tions of rubber hose over the threaded ends of the
connecting rod bolts.
3. Install the ring compressor, and check that the bear-
ing is securely in place.
4. Position the arrow facing the timing belt side of the
eng ine.
The arrow must facethe timing belt sideot the engine. Theconnecting rod oil holemust face the intakemanjfold (81881 engine).

Position the piston in the cylinder. and tap it in
using the wooden handle of a hammer.
NOTE; Maintain downward force on the ring com-pressor to prevent rings from expanding before
entering the cylinder bore.
6. Stop after the ring compfessor pops free, and check
the connecting rod-to-crank journal alignment
betore pushing piston in to place,
7.Check the connecting rod bearing clearance withplastigage {see page 7-9).
Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. then install the
rod caps with bearings,
Installthe nuts, and toroue it.
