Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance\
Inspection
1.Remove the valves (see page 6-3'1).
Slide the valve out of its guide about 10 mm. then
measure the guide-to-stem clearance with a dial
indicator while rocking the stem in the direction of
normal thrust (wobble method).. lf the measurement exceedsthe service limit,
recheck it using a new valve.. lf the measurement is nowwithin the service
limit, reassemble using a new valve.. lf the measurementwith a newvalve still
exceeds the service limit, go to step 3.
lntake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard lNew): 0.06 0.11 mm

Subtract the O.D. of the valve stem. measured with
a micrometer, from the LD. of the valve guide,
measured with an inside micrometer or ball gauge.
Take the measurements in three places along the
valve stem and three places inside the valve guide.
The difference between the largest guide
measurement and the smallest stem measurement
should not exceed the service limit

5. lnstall a dial indicator as shown. Push the
crankshaft firmly away from the dial indicator, and
zero the dial against the end of the crankshaft. Then
pull the crankshaft firmly back toward the indicator;
the dial reading should not exceed the service limit.

washers and recheck. lf it is still out-of-tolerance,
replace the crankshaft.

Inspection
NOTE: Inspect the piston, piston pin, and connecting
rod when they are at room temperature.
1. Measure the diameter of the piston pin.
Piston Pin Diameter
Standard (New): 21.961 21.965 mm(0.8646-0.8648 in.)
Service Limit: 21.953 mm 10.8643 in.l
2. Zerc the dial indicator to the piston pin diameter.
3. Check the difference between the Diston Din
diameter and piston pin hole diameter in the piston.

Engine Lubrication
Oil Pressure Switch Test
1. Remove the YEURED wire (A)from the engine oilpressure switch (B).
Check for continuity between the positive terminal(C) and the engine (ground). There should be
continuity with the engine stopped. There should
be no continuity with the engine running.
lf the switch fails to operate, check the engine oil
level. lf the engine oil level is OK. check the engine
oil pressure. lf the oil pressure is OK, replace lhe oil
Dressure switch.

Oil Pressure Test
lf the oil pressure indicator stays on with the engine
running. check the engine oil level. lf the oil level is
correct:
Connect a tachometer.
Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and install
an oil pressure gauge {A).
{
'1.
\.(
4.
Sta rt the engine. Shut it off immediately if thegauge registers no oil pressure. Repair lhe problem
before continuing.
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature(fan comes on at least twice), The pressure should
be:
Engine Oil Temperature: 176'F (80'Cl
Engine Oil Pressure:
At ldle:70 kPa (0.7 kgf/cm', 10 psi)
mtntmum
At 3,000 rpm: 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm',44 psi)
minimum
lf the oil pressure is NOT within specifications,
inspect these items:. Check the oil screenforclogging.. Check the oil pump (see page 8-8).. Check crankshaft and connecting rod bearing
clearances.

Seat the balancer shaft by pushing it away from the
oil pump sprocket end ofthe oil pump.
Zero the dial indicator against the end of the
balancer shaft, then push the balancer shaft back
and forth and read the end olav.

General Troubleshooting Information
Intermittent Failures
The term "intermittent failure" means a svstem mav
have had a failure. but it checks OK now. lf the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) on the dash does not
come on, check for Door connections or loose terminals
at all connectors related to the circuit that Vou are
troubleshooting.
Opens and Shorts
"Ooen" and "Short" are common electrical terms. An
open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is
an accidental connection of a wire to ground or to
another wire. In simple electronics, this usually means
something won't work at all. With complex electronics(such as ECMs)this can sometimes mean something
works, but not the way it's supposed to.
How to Use the PGM Tester or a Scan Tool
lf the MIL {Malfunction Indicator Lamp} has come on
'1. Start the engine and check the MIL {A).
NOTE: lf the ignition switch is turned ON (ll), and
the engine is not started, the MIL will stay on for
15 20 seconds (see page 11-46).
K-> ;"PN/.- -::: - -d V-: !
w:ix&K#
2. lf the MIL stays on, connect the Honda PGM Tester(A) or an OBD ll scan tool to the Data Link
Connector {DLC) (B) located under the driver's side
of the dashboard.
3.
5.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and note
it. Also check the freeze data. Refer to the DTC
Troubleshooting Index, and begin the appropriate
troubleshooting procedure.
lf you do not find any DTCS, go to MIL circuit
troubleshooting (see page 11-97).
NOTE:. Freeze data indicates the engine conditions when the
first malfunction, misfire, or fuel trim malfunction
was detected.. The scan tool and the Honda PGM Tester can read the
DTC, freeze data, current data, and other Engine
Control l\4odule {EClvl) data.. For specific operations, refer to the user's manual
that came with the scan tool or Honda PG l\4 Tester.
lf the MIL did not stay
lf the MIL did not come on but there is a driveability
problem, refer to the Symptom Troubleshooting Index
in this section.
lf you can't duplicate the DTC
Some of the troubleshooting in this section requires
you to reset the ECM and try to duplicate the DTC. lf rhe
problem is intermittent and you can't duplicate the code,
do not continue through the procedure. To do so will
only result in confusion and, possibly, a needlessly
replaced ECM.
