13. Remove the cam chain case (see step 13 on page 6-19). 14. Measure the tensioner rod length between the
tensioner body and bottom of the flat surface
section on the tensioner rod. If the length is more
than the service limit, replace the cam chain and
the oil pump chain.
15. Check the chain case oil seal for damage. If the oil seal is damaged, replace the chain case oil seal
(see page 6-31).
16. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the chain case mating surfaces, bolt and bolt holes.
17. Clean, and dry the chain case mating surfaces.
18. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the engine
block mating surface of the chain case, and to the
inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install the
component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid
gasket(seestep17onpage6-24).
NOTE: If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
 If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and
residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
19. Apply liquid gasket to the engine block upper surface contact areas on the chain case and lower
block upper surface contact areas on the chain case
(see step 18 on page 6-24).

the liquid gasket.
NOTE: If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
 If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and
residue, then reapply new liquid gasket. 5. Set the spark plug seals (A) on the spark plug tubes.

1. Remove the rocker arm assembly (see page 6-43).
2. Disassemble the rocker arm assembly (see page6-46).
3. Measure the diameter of the shaft at the first rocker location.
4. Zero the gauge (A) to the shaft diameter. 5. Measure the inside diameter of the rocker arm, and
check it for an out-of-round condition.
6. Repeat for all rocker arms and both shafts. If the clearance is beyond the service limit, replace the
rocker shaft and all out of service limit rocker arms.
If any VTEC rocker arm needs replacement, replace
the rocker arms (primary and secondary), as a set.
7. Inspect the rocker arm pistons (A). Push on each piston manually. If it does not move smoothly,
replace the rocker arm as a set.
NOTE: Apply new engine oil to the rocker arm
pistons when reassembling.
8. Install the rocker arm assembly (see page 6-60).
