Overhaul




Rocker Arm and Shaft Disassembly/Reassembly

NOTE:

- Identify parts as they are removed so they can be reinstall in their original locations.
- Inspect the rocker shafts and the rocker arms Rocker Arm And Shaft Inspection.
- If reused, the rocker arms must be installed in their original locations.

- Bundle the rocker arms with rubber bands to keep them together as a set, and remove the bands after the intake rocker arms have been installed.
- Prior to reassembling, clean all the parts in solvent, dry them, and apply new engine oil to all contact points.
- When replacing the VTEC rocker arm assembly, remove the fastening hardware from the new VTEC rocker arm assembly.
