Valve clearance Intake and exhaust HONDA CR-V 1997 RD1-RD3 / 1.G Workshop Manual

Valve Clearance
Adiustment
Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head tempera-
ture is less than 100"F (38"C).
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
Remove the middle cover (see page 6-11).
Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. The "UP" mark on the
pulleys should be at the top, and the TDC marks on
the pulleys should align with the pointers on the back
POINTERPOINTER
Adjust the valves on No. 1 cylinder.
Intake: 0.08 - 0.12 mm (0.003 - 0.005 inl
Exhaust: 0.16 - 0.20 mm (0.006 - 0.008 in)
Loosen the locknut, and turn the adiustment screw
until the feeler gauge slides back and forth with a
slight amount of drag.

8. Rotate the crankshaft 180" counterclockwise to brinq
No. 4 piston to TDC.
The "UP" marks should be pointing straight down.
Adjust the valves on No. 4 cylinder.
Rotate the crankshaft 180'counterclockwise to brino
No.2 piston to TDC.
The "UP" marks should be on the intake side. Adiust
the valves on No. 2 cylinder.
Install the cylinder head cover (see page 6-32).

Reaming
NOTE: For new valve guides only.
1. Coat the reamer and the valve guide with cutting oil.
2. Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore.
Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove anY cutting residue.
Check clearance with a valve (see page 6-25).

Warpage
NOTE: lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see page G22)
are not within specification, the head cannot be resur-
faced.
lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within specifica-
tions, check the head for warpage. Measure along the
edges, and three ways across the center.
. if warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in) cylinder
head resurfacing is not required
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and 0.2 mm
(0.008 in), resurface cylinder head.
Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) based
on a height of 132.0 mm (5.20 in).
