Cylinder Head Inspection for
Warpage
Remove the cylinder head {see page 6-23).
Inspect the camshaft (see page 6-29).
Check the cylinder head for warpage. Measure
along the edges, and three ways across the center.
. lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
cylinder head resurfacing is not required.. lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) and
0.2 mm (0.008 in.), resurface the cylinder head.. Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in,)
based on a height of 104 mm (4.09 in.).

Rocker Arms and Shafts Inspection
Remove the rocker arm assembly (see page 6-26).
Measure the diameter of the shaft at the first rocker
location.
3. Zero the gauge (A) to the shaft diameter.

4. Measure the inside diameter ofthe rocker arm, and
check it for an out-of-round condition.
Rocker Arm-to-Shaflt Clearance:

Service Limit: 0.08 mm (0.003 in.)
5. Repeat for all rockerarms and both shafts. lfthe
clearance is over the Ilmit. replace the rocker shaft
and all overtolerance rocker arms. lf any VTEC
rocker arm needs replacement, replace the rocker
arms (primary and secondary) as a set.
6. Inspect the rocker arm pistons {A}. Push each
piston manually.
lf it does not move smoothly, replace the rocker
arm set.
NOTE: Apply oil to the pistons when reassembling.

Cylinder Head
Camshaft Inspection (cont'dl
1.
9.
Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two turns at a
time, in a crisscross pattern. Then remove the
camshaft holders from the cylinder head.
Lift the camshafts out of the cylinder head, wipe
them clean. then inspect the lift ramps. Replace the
camshaft if any lobes are pitted, scored, or
excessively worn,
Clean the camshaft journal surfaces in the cylinder
head, then set the camshafts back in place. Place a
plastigage strip across each journal.
Install the camshaft holders, then tighten the bolts
to the specified torque as shown in step 2.
Remove the camshaft holders. Measure the widest
portion of plastigage on each journal.
. lf the camshaft-to-holder clearance is within
limits, go to step 1 1.. lf the camshaft-to-holder clearance is beyond the
service limit and the camshaft has been replaced,
replace the cylinder head.. lf the camshaft-to-holder clearance is beyond the
service limit and the camshaft has not been
replaced, go to step 10.

beyond the service limit, replace the cylinder
neao.
