2. Raise the vehicle on the lift, and position theengine/transmission under the vehicle. Lower the
vehicle, and install the universal lifting eyelet
(07AAK-SNAA120). Attach a chain hoist to the
universal eyelet and the transmission hook, then lift
the engine into position in the vehicle.

the sequence given in the following steps. Failure
to follow this sequence may cause excessive noise
and vibration, and reduce engine mount life.
3. Attach the engine hanger adapter (VSB02C000015) to the threaded hole in the cylinder head. 4. Install the front leg assembly (A), the hook (B), and
the wing nut (C) to an A and Reds engine support
hanger (AAR-T1256) onto the 2006 civic engine
hanger (VSB02C000025). Carefully position the
engine hanger on the vehicle, and attach the hook
to the forward hole in the engine hanger adapter
(D). Tighten the wing nut by hand to lift and support
the engine/transmission.

1. Thoroughly clean the head cover gasket and the groove.
2. Install the head cover gasket (A) in the groove of the cylinder head cover (B).
3. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry.
4. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the chain
case and the No. 5 rocker shaft holder mating areas.
Install the component within 5 minutes of applying
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.
Place the cylinder head cover (B) on the cylinder
head, then slide the cover slightly back and forth to
seat the head cover gasket.
6. Inspect the cover washers (C). Replace any washer that is damaged or deteriorated.
7. Tighten the bolts in three steps. In the final step tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 12 N·m (1.2 kgf·m,
8.7 lbf·ft).
NOTE: Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the head cover.

1. Remove the cam chain (see page 6-18).
2. Hold the exhaust camshaft with an open-end
wrench, then loosen the variable valve timing
control (VTC) actuator mounting bolt and the
exhaust camshaft sprocket mounting bolt.
3. If the VTC actuator is reused, do these steps. –1 Remove the intake camshaft, and seal theadvance holes and retard holes in the No. 1
camshaft journal with tape (see step 6 on page
6-11).
–2 Punch a hole in the tape over one of the advance holes (see step 7 on page 6-11).
–3 Apply air to the advance hole to release the lock (see step 8 on page 6-11).
–4 Remove the tape from the No. 1 camshaft journal.
4. Remove the VTC actuator and the exhaust camshaft sprocket. 1. Install the variable valve timing control (VTC)
actuator and exhaust camshaft sprocket.
NOTE: Install the VTC actuator to unlock position.
2. Apply new engine oil to the threads of the VTC actuator mounting bolt and the exhaust camshaft
mounting bolt, then install them.
3. Hold the exhaust camshaft with an open-end wrench, then tighten the mounting bolts.
4. Hold the exhaust camshaft with an open-end wrench, and turn the VTC actuator clockwise until
you hear it click. Make sure to lock the VTC actuator
by turning it.
5. Install the cam chain (see page 6-21).

4. Set the crankshaft to top dead center (TDC). Align
the TDC mark (A) on the crankshaft sprocket with
the pointer (B) on the engine block.
5. Set the camshaft pulley to TDC (see step 2 on page 6-21).
6. Install the cylinder head on the engine block.
7. Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B.
8. If either diameter is less than 10.6 mm (0.42 in.), replace the cylinder head bolt. 9. Apply new engine oil to the threads and under the
bolt heads of all cylinder head bolts.
10. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 39 N·m (4.0 kgf·m, 29 lbf·ft). Use a beam-type
torque wrench. When using a preset click-type
torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly and do not
overtighten. If a bolt makes any noise while you are
torquing it, loosen the bolt and retighten it from the
first step.
11. After torquing, tighten all cylinder head bolts in two steps (90 ° per step) using the sequence shown in
step 10. If you are using a new cylinder head bolt,
tighten the bolt an extra 90 °.
NOTE: Remove the cylinder head bolt if you
tightened it beyond the specified angle, and go
back to step 6 of the procedure. Do not loosen it
back to the specified angle.
