Always use Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oii can cause stiffer shifting because it does
not contain the Drooer additives.
Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of
the system.

Check that the engine/transmission is completely
free of vacuum hoses, fuel and coolant hoses, and
electrical wiring.
Slowly lower the engine about 150 mm (6 in.).
Check once again that all hoses and wires are
disconnected trom the engine/transmission.
Lower the engine all the way. Remove the chain
hoist from the engine.

Reinstallthe mounting bolts/support nuts in
the sequence given. Failure to follow this
sequence may cause excessive noise and
vibration, and reduce bushing life.

WEC Rocker Arms Test
Special Tools Required. Air pressure regulator 07AAJ-PNAA100. VTEC air adaoter 07ZAJ-PNAA100. WEC air stoDoer 07ZAJ-PNAA200. Air joint adapter 07ZAJ-PNAA300
1. Remove the cylinder head cover (see page 6-22).
2. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC) (see
step 1 on page 6-12).
3. Verify that the intake primary rocker arm (A) moves
independently of the intake secondary rocker arm
(B).
. lf the intake primary rockerarm does not move,
remove the primary and secondary rocker arms
as an assembly and check that the pistons in the
secondary and primary rocker arms move
smoothly. lf any rocker arm needs replacing,
replace the primary and secondary rocker arms
as an assemblv, and test.. lfthe intake primary rocker arm moves freely, go
to step 4.
6.
Repeat step 3 on the remaining intake primary
rocker arms with each piston at TDC. When all the
primary rocker arms pass the test, go to step 5.
Check that the air pressure on the shop air
compressor gauge indicates over 400 kPa
(4 kgflcm', 57 psi).
Inspect the valve clearance (see page 6-9).
Remove the sealing bolt (A)from the relief hole,
and install the VTEC air stopper (B).7.
