1999 HONDA CIVIC Intake

Rocker Arms and Shafts
Clearance Inspection
Measure both the intake rocker shaft and exhaust rocker
shaft.
1. Measure diameter of shaft at the first rocker loca-
tron.
2. Zero gauge to shaft diameter.
Surlace shor/ld be smooth.
MICROMETER
6-74
3. Measure the inside diameter of each rocker arm and
check for out-of-round condition
Rocker Arm-to-Shaft Clearance:
Intake and Exhaust
Standard {Newl: 0.025 - 0.052 mm
{0.0010 - 0.0020 in)
Service Limit: 0.08 mm {0.003 in)
Inspect rocker armface for wear.
Repeat for all rockers.- lf over limit, replace rocker shaft and all overtol-
erance rocker arms.
NOTE: lf any rocker arm needs replacement, replace
all three rocker arms in that set {primary, mid, and
seconoary).

Inspection (cont'dl
7. lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearance is out of tol-
erance:
- And the camshaft has already been replaced, you
must replace the cylinder head.- lf the camshaft has not been replaced, first check
the total runout with the camshaft supported on
V-blocks.
Camshaft Total Runout:
Standard (New): 0.03 mm {0.001 in} max.
Service Limit: 0.04 mm (0.002 inl
- lf the total runout of the camshaft is within toler,
ance, replace the cylinder head.- lf the total runout is out of tolerance. replace the
camshaft and recheck the camshaft to,holder oil
clearance. lf the oil clearance is still out of toler-
ance, replace the cylinder head.

Valve Seats
Reconditioning
1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder
valve seat cutter.
NOTE: lf any guides are worn (see
replace them (see page 6-80) before
valve seats,
head with a

cutting the
Carefully cut a 45o seat, removing only enough mate-
rial to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30" cutterand the lower edge of the seat with the 60. cutter.Check width of seat and adjust accordingly,
Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter toremove any possible burrs caused bv the other cut-
ters.

5. After resufacing the seat. inspect for even valveseating: Apply Prussian Blue Compound to thevalve face, and insert the valve in its original loca-tion in the head. then lift it and snap it closedagainst the seat several times.
PRUSSIAN BLUE COMPOUND
The actual valve seating surface, as shown by theblue compound, should be centered on the seat.. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you mustmake a second cut with the 60. cutter to move itdown, then one more cut with the 45. cutter torestore seat width.
. lf it is too low (closer to the valve edge), you must
make a second cut with the 30. cutter to move itup. then one more cut with the 45. cutter to restoreseat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made withthe 45" cutter,
7. Insen the intake and exhaust valves in the head and
measure valve stem installed heioht.
Intaka Valve Stem Installed Height:

Servico Limit 37.885 (1.4915 inl
lf valve stem installed height is over the service limit,replace the valve and recheck. lf it is still over the ser-vice limit, replace the cylinder head; the valve seat inthe h6ad is too deep.

7. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the outside
of the new valve guide. Install the guide from the
camshaft side of the head; use the special tool to
drive the guide in to the specified installed height. lf
you have all l6 guides to do, you may have to reheat
the head,

Reaming
NOTE: For new valve guides onlY.
1. Coat both reamer and valve guide with cufting oil.
2. Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore
Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove any cutting residue.
Check clearance with a valve lsee page 6-73)
. Verify that the valve slides in the intake and
exhaust valve guides without exertlng pressure.

4. Clean and install the rocker shaft orifices with new
O-rings. lf the holes in the rocker arm shaft and
cylinder head are not in line with each other, screw
a 12 mm bolt into the rocker arm shaft and rotate
the shaft.
NOTE: The shapes of the rocker shaft orifices tor
the intake and exhaust are different. The orific'
must be installed in the proper locations.

lnstall the cylinder head in the reverse order of removal:
NOTE:
. Always use a new head and manifold gasket.. The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket, Take carenot to bend it.
. Rotate the crankshaft, set the No. 1 piston at TDC (seepage 6-63).
. Do not use the middle cover and lower cover forstorang removed items.. Clean the middle cover and lower cover before instal_lation.
o Replace any washers that are damaged or deteriorated.
1. Install the cylinder head gasket, dowel pins and thehead oil control orifice on the cylinder head.
NOTE: Clean the oil control orifice when installing.

2, Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step, tighten all bolts in sequence to about 29N.m (3.0 kgf.m, 22 tbf.ftl. ln the final step, tighten inthe same sequence to 83 N.m (8.S kgf.m,6t lbf.ft).
NOTE:
. Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads andunder the bolt head.. We recommend using a beam-type torquewrench. When using a preset-type torque wrench,be sure to tighten slowly and not to overtighten.. lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.
