Removal

1. Loosen adjusting screws, then remove the camshaft holder plates, camshaft holders and camshafts.

NOTE: Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two turns at a time, in a crisscross pattern, to prevent damaging the valves or rocker arm assembly.





2. Remove the VTEC solenoid valve and 20 mm sealing bolt.





3. Hold the rocker arms together with a rubber band to prevent them from separating.





4. Remove the intake and exhaust rocker shaft orifices.

NOTE: The shapes of the rocker shaft orifices of the intake and exhaust are different. Identify the parts as they are removed to ensure reinstallation in the original locations.





5. Screw 12 mm bolts into the rocker arm shafts. Remove each rocker arm while slowly pulling out the intake and exhaust rocker arm shafts.
