    		 1. Rotate the crankshaft pulley clockwise. Make sure that the intake primary rocker arm (A) should move independently of the intake secondary rocker arm (B):
    • If the intake primary and secondary rocker arms do not move independently, remove the intake primary and secondary rocker arms as an assembly, and check that the pistons in the rocker arms move smoothly. If any intake rocker arm needs replacing, replace the primary and secondary rocker arms as an assembly, then retest.
    • If the intake primary and secondary rocker arms move independently, go to the next procedure.
  4. Air Pressure - Check

    Check that the air pressure on the shop air compressor gauge indicates over 981 kPa (10. 00 kgf/cm2 , 142. 3 psi).

  5. Valve Clearance - Inspect

    Inspect the valve clearance - Refer to: Valve Clearance Adjustment (V6),  or Valve Clearance Adjustment (L4) .

    		 6. With the specified air pressure applied, rotate the crankshaft pulley clockwise. Make sure that the intake primary rocker arm (A) and the intake secondary rocker arm (B) are mechanically connected by the pistons and that the intake primary and secondary rocker arms should move together:
    • If the intake primary and secondary rocker arms move independently, remove the intake primary and secondary rocker arms as an assembly, and check that the pistons in the rocker arms move smoothly. If any intake rocker arm needs replacing, replace the primary and secondary rocker arms as an assembly, then retest.
    • If the mid, primary, and secondary rocker arms move together, go to the next procedure.
  7. Air Pressure Regulator, VTEC Air Stop Tool B, and VCM Adapter - Remove

    Remove the air pressure regulator, VTEC air stop tool B, and VCM air adapter.

  8. Sealing Bolt - Install

    Torque the new sealing bolts to 22 N. m (2. 2 kgf. m, 16 lbf. ft).

  9. Cylinder Head Cover - Install

    Install the cylinder head cover - Refer to: Cylinder Head Cover Removal and Installation (V6), or Cylinder Head Cover Removal and Installation (L4) (2013), or Cylinder Head Cover Removal and Installation (L4) (2014-17) .
