Cylinder Bore Honing
1. Oil Jet - Remove
2. Cylinder Bore - Honing
1. Measure the cylinder bores. If the engine block is to be reused, hone the cylinders and remeasure the bores. Only scored or
scratched cylinder bore must be honed.
cardiagn.com
2. Hone the cylinder bores with honing oil and a fine (400 grit) stone.
NOTE:
Use only a rigid hone with 400 grit or finer stone such as Sunnen, Ammco, or equivalent.
Do not use stones that are worn or broken.
Honing Pattern: Within 30－60 degree cross-hatch pattern (A)
3. When honing is complete, thoroughly clean the engine block of all metal particles. Wash the cylinder bores with hot soapy
water, then dry and oil them immediately to prevent rusting.
NOTE: Never use solvent, it will only redistribute the grit on the cylinder walls.
4. If scoring or scratches are still present in the cylinder bores after to the service limit, rebore the engine block. Some light
vertical scoring and scratching is acceptable if it is not deep enough to catch your fingernail, and does not run the full length of
the bore.

4. Piston/Connecting Rod Assembly - Remove
1. Use the wooden handle of a hammer (A) to drive out the

piston/connecting rod assembly (B). Take care not to
damage the cylinder with the connecting rod.
2. Reinstall the connecting rod bearings and caps after

removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.
NOTE:
Mark each piston/connecting rod assembly with its
cylinder number to make sure they are reinstalled in the
original order.
The existing number on the connecting rod does not

2. Clean all ring grooves thoroughly with a squared-off broken

ring or a ring groove cleaner with a blade to fit the piston
grooves.
The top ring groove is 1.2 mm (0.047 in) wide. The second
ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.039 in) wide. The oil ring groove is
2.0 mm (0.079 in) wide. File down a blade if necessary.
Do not use a wire brush to clean the ring grooves, or cut
the ring grooves deeper with the cleaning tools.
NOTE: If the piston is to be separated from the connecting

rod, do not install new rings yet.

1. Valve Seal and Valve Spring Seat - Remove
2. Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance - Inspect
1 of 5 1/19/2019 6:28 PM
3. Valve Guide - Remove
1. As illustrated, use a commercially available air-impact valve

guide driver (A) modified to fit the diameter of the valve
guides. In most cases, the same procedure can be done
using the valve guide driver, 5.35 x 9.7 mm and a
conventional hammer.
2. Select the proper replacement guides, and chill them in the

freezer section of a refrigerator for at least an hour.
3. Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder head to

300 °F (150 °C). Monitor the temperature with a cooking
thermometer. Do not get the head hotter than 300 °F (150
°C); excessive heat may loosen the valve seats.
cardiagn.com
2 of 5 1/19/2019 6:28 PM
4. Working from the camshaft side, use the driver and an air
hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (0.08 in) towards
the combustion chamber. This will knock off some of the
carbon and make removal easier. Hold the air hammer
directly in line with the valve guide to prevent damaging the
driver. Wear safety goggles or a face shield.
5. Turn the cylinder head over, and drive the guide out toward
the camshaft side of the cylinder head.
6. If a valve guide will not move, drill it out with an 8 mm (5/16

in) drill bit, then try again.
NOTE: Drill guides only in extreme cases; you could

damage the cylinder head if the guide breaks.

2. Apply a thin coat of new engine oil to the outside of the new valve guide.
3. Install the guide from the camshaft side of the head; use the valve guide driver, 5.35 x 9.7 to drive the guide into the specified
installed height (A) of the guide (B). If you have all 16 valve guides to do, you may have to reheat the head.
Valve Guide Installed Height:

Intake: 21.25－21.75 mm (0.8366－0.8563 in)
Exhaust: 19.75－20.25 mm (0.7776－0.7972 in)
4 of 5 1/19/2019 6:28 PM
4. Coat both the valve guide reamer, 5.5 mm and the valve
guide with cutting oil.
5. Rotate the valve guide reamer clockwise the full length of

the valve guide bore.
6. Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while drawing it

from the bore.
7. Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water to

remove any cutting residue.

are worn, replace them before cutting the valve seats.
2. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a valve

seat cutter.
3. Carefully cut a 45 ° seat, removing only enough material to
cardiagn.com
ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
4. Bevel the upper and lower edges at the angles shown in the illustration. Check the width of the seat and adjust accordingly.
5. Make one more very light passes with the 45 ° cutter to remove any possible burrs caused by the other cutters.

6. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve seating:

Apply Prussian Blue compound (A) to the valve face. Insert
the valve in its original location in the head, then lift it and
snap it closed against the seat several times.
7. The actual valve seating surface (B), as shown by the blue

compound, should be centered on the seat:
If it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you must

make a second cut with the 60 ° cutter to move it down,
then one more cut with the 45 ° cutter to restore seat
width.
If it is too low (close to the valve edge), you must make
a second cut with the 30 ° cutter to move it up, then
make one more cut with the 45 ° cutter to restore seat

VTEC/VTC System Description - VTC 4108 http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/sm/1/2/Contents/enu/61TBAD/...
VTEC/VTC System Description - VTC
Overview
The VTC system makes continuous intake and exhaust valve timing changes depending on the engine speed, the engine load, and
the vehicle speed.
Construction
cardiagn.com
VTC Actuator
The VTC actuator is composed of the vane, the lock pin, the pin spring, and the housing with the timing gear. It is installed at the end
of the camshaft.
When the VTC actuator vane rotates to advance or retard position, the intake camshaft timing is changed.
When the engine stops, the vane is locked in the initial position by the lock pin so that the engine will start smoothly. After the engine
starts, the vane turns freely because the lock pin is pushed back against the spring tension by oil pressure.
