Lubrication Points
For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied. refer to the illustrated index and various work pro-
cedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
Recomm6nded Engine OilEngine oil viscosity for ambient temperature ranges
100'F
-30 -20 .10 0 10 20 30 40'c
r1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid {MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the orooer additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect
shift qualitv.+3r Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.*4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmis-
sion fluid can caused increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

Cylinder Head
Installation
Installthe cylinder head in the reverse order of removal:
1. Clean the cylinder head and block surfaces.
2. Clean the oil control orifice. Install the cylinder headgasket, dowel pins and the oil control orifice on thecylinder block. Always use a new cylinder head gas-ket.

DOWELPIN
OIL CONTBOLORIFICEClean.
Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads and underthe bolt heads.
4. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step tighten all bolts, in sequence, to about 29
N.m {3.0 kgf.m,22 lbf.ft); in the finat step, tighten inthe same sequence to 85 N.m (8.7 kgf.m,63 lbf.ft).
Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a pre-
set-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly
and do not overtighten.
lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.
CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS TOROUE SEOUENCE:
Tighten the intake manifold mounting bolts (see
page 6-21).
Install the exhaust manifold bracket. and tighten thenew self-locking nuts (see page 6-20).

Fuel Supply System
Fuel Gauge
Tssting
NOTE: Refer to section 23 for the fuel gauge system cir-cuit diagram.
'1. Check the No. 25 METER (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Fold the left rear seat cushion forward, and remove
the base frame cover {see section 20).
3. Remove the access panel from the floor.
4. Disconnect the 5P connector from the fuel pump.
5. Measure voltage between the 5P connector termi-nals No.2 and No. 5 with the ignition switch ON ( ).There should be between 5 and 8 V.

7.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Attach a jumper wire between the No. 2 and No. 5terminals, then turn the ignition switch ON fll).
Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starts mov-ing toward the "F" mark. Turn the ignition switchOFF before the pointer reaches "F" on the gauge
dial. Failure to do so may damage the luel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type,hence the fuel level is continuously indicated evenwhen the ignition switch is OFF, and the pointer
moves more slowly than that of a bimetal type.
. lf the pointer of the fuel gauge does not move atall. replace the gauge.
. lf the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge send-ing unit.

Front Driveshafts
Removal (cont'd)
Remove the cotter pin from the lower arm ball ioint
castle nut, and remove the nut.
Install a 12 mm hex nut on the ball joint. Make sure
the hex nut is flush with the ball joint pin end, or the
threaded section of the ball joint pin might be dam-
aged by the special tool.
Use the special tool as shown in section '18 to sepa-
rate the ball joint and lower arm, Be caretul not to
damage the ball joint boot, lf necessary, apply pen-
etrating type lubricant to loosen the ball joint,
Pry out the driveshaft assembly with a pry bar, as
shown, to force the set ring at the driveshaft end
past the groove. Be careful not to damage the oil
seals when prying.

12. Pull on the inboard joint, and remove the driveshaft
from the differential case or bearing support as an
assembly. Do not pull on the driveshaft, the inboardjoint may come apart. Pull the driveshaft straight
out to avoid damaging the differential oil seal or the
intermediate shaft outer seal.
Left driveshaft:
Remove the left driveshaft from the bearing suppon
by tapping on the inboard joint of the driveshaft
with a olastic hammer.
