12. With the specified air pressure applied, move the
intake primary rocker arm (A) for the No. 1 cylinder.
The primary rocker arm and secondary rocker arm
(B) should move together.
 If the primary and the secondary rocker arm move together, go to step 13.
 If the intake secondary rocker arm do not move together, remove the primary and secondary
rocker arms as an assembly, and check that the
pistons in the primary and secondary rocker
arms move smoothly. If any rocker arm needs
replacing, replace the primary and secondary
rocker arms as an assembly, then retest.
13. Repeat step 12 on the remaining primary rocker arms with each piston at TDC. When all the primary
rocker arms pass the test, go to step 14.
14. Remove the air pressure regulator, the air joint adapter, the VTEC air stopper and VTEC air
adapters.
15. Tighten the camshaft holder mounting bolts to 22 N·m (2.2 kgf·m, 16 lbf·ft).
16. Tighten the sealing bolt to 20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 14 lbf·ft).
17. Install the cylinder head cover (see page 6-37).  VTEC air stopper 07ZAJ-PNAA200
 VTEC air adapter 07ZAJ-PNAA101
 Air joint adapter 07ZAJ-PNAA300
 Air pressure regulator 07AAJ-PNAA101
1. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Remove the cylinder head cover (see page 6-36).
3. Set the No. 1 piston at TDC (see step 5 on page 6-18).
4. Move the secondary rocker arm (A) for No. 1 cylinder. The secondary rocker arm should move
independently of the mid rocker arm (B).
 If the secondary rocker arm moves freely, go to step 5.
 If the secondary rocker arm do not move independently, remove the mid, primary, and
secondary rocker arms as an assembly, and
check that the pistons in the rocker arms move
smoothly. If any rocker arm needs replacing,
replace the mid, primary, and secondary rocker
arms as an assembly, then retest.
5. Repeat step 4 on the remaining secondary rocker arms with each piston at TDC. When all the
secondary rocker arms pass the test, go to step 6.
6. Check that the air pressure on the shop air compressor gauge indicates over 400 kPa
(4.0 kgf/cm , 57 psi).
7. Inspect the valve clearance (see page 6-14).

VTC Actuator Inspection
A B
1. Remove the cam chain (see page 6-18).
2. Loosen the rocker arm adjusting screws: K20Z2 engine (see step 2 on page 6-43)

4. Remove the intake camshaft.
5. Check that the variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator is locked by turning the VTC actuator
counterclockwise. If not locked, turn the VTC
actuator clockwise until it stops, then recheck it. If it
is still not locked, replace the VTC actuator.
6. Seal the advance holes (A) and the retard holes (B) in the No. 1 camshaft journal with tape.
7. Punch a hole in the tape over one of the advance holes.
8. Apply air to the advance hole to release the lock. 9. Check that the VTC actuator moves smoothly. If the
VTC actuator does not move smoothly, replace the
VTC actuator.
10. Remove the tape and adhesive residue from the No. 1 camshaft journal.
11. Make sure the punch marks on the VTC actuator and the exhaust camshaft sprocket are facing up,
then set the camshafts in the rocker shaft holder:
 K20Z2 engine (see step 6 on page 6-61)

12. Set the camshaft holders and cam chain guide B in place:
 K20Z2 engine (see step 7 on page 6-61)
 K20Z3 engine (see step 7 on page 6-62)
13. Tighten the camshaft holder bolts to the specified torque:
 K20Z2 engine (see step 8 on page 6-61)
 K20Z3 engine (see step 8 on page 6-62)
14. Hold the camshaft, and turn the VTC actuator clockwise until you hear it click. Make sure to lock
the VTC actuator by turning it.
15. Install the cam chain (see page 6-21).
16. Adjust the valve clearance:  K20Z2 engine (see page 6-12)
 K20Z3 engine (see page 6-14)
