Inspection Using Special Tools (cont,dl
Loosen the valve on the regulator and apply thespecified air pressure.
Specified Air Pressuro:
250 kPa {2.5 kgtlcm,, 36 psil- 490 kPa {5.0 kgtcm,, 7t psil
Make sure that the primary and secondary rockerarms are mechanically connected by the pistonsand that the mid rocker arms do no. move wnenpushed manually.
SECONDARYROCKER ARM
. lf any mid rocker arm moves independently ofthe primary and secondary rocker arms, replacethe rocker arms as a set.
Remove the tools.
Check the operation of the lost motion assembly bypushing on the mid rocker arm. The lost motionassembly should compress fully and operatesmoothly through its full stroke. Replace the assem_bly if it does not work smoothly.
After inspection. check that the Malfunction Indi_cator Lamp {MlL) does not come on.

Rocker Arms
Removal
'1. Hold the rocker arms together with a rubber band to
prevent them from separating.
Remove the intake and exhaust rocker shaft oil con-
trol orifices, then remove the VTEC solenoid valve
and the sealing bolts.
NOTE: The shapes ofthe intake and exhaust oil con-
trol orifices are different, ldentify the parts as they
are removed to ensure reinstallation in the original
locauons.

3. Reinstall the drain bolt with a new washer. and rbfill
the engine with the recommended oil.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, the oil filter should be
replaced at every other oil change Under severe condi-
tions, the oilfilter should be replaced at each oil change'
The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell
you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight Select the oil for
vour car according to this chart:
30 20 -10 010 20 30 4OoC
An oil with a viscosity of 5W - 30 is preferred for
improved tuel economy and year-round protection in the
car. You may use a 10W - 30 oil if the climate in your area
is limited to the temperature range shown on the chart'

8. Mix the recommended antifreeze with an eoualamount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
o Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.. For best corrosion protection. the coolant con_centration must be maintained year_round at50% minimum. Coolant concentrations less than50% may not provide sufficient protectionagainst corrosion or freezing.. Coolant concentrations greater than 60010 willimpair cooling efficiency and are not recom_mended.
CAUTION:
. Do not mix difforont brands ofar ilreeze/coolants.. Do not use additional rust inhibiiors or anti_rustproduqt3; they may not be compatible with thecoolant.

Start the engine and let it run until it warms up (theradiator fan comes on at least twicer.
Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator.add coolant if needed.
Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run the engineagain and check for leaks.
