Overhaul

Rocker Arm and, Shaft Disassembly/Reassembly

NOTE:
^ Identify parts as they are removed to ensure reinstallation in their original locations.
^ Inspect rocker shafts and rocker arms.
^ If reused, the rocker arms must be installed in the same position.
^ Prior to reassembling, clean all the parts in solvent, dry them, and apply new engine oil to any contact points.
^ Bundle the rocker arms with rubber bands to keep them together as a set.
^ When replacing the VTEC rocker arm assembly, remove the fastening hardware from the new VTEC rocker arm assembly.
