Honda Civic - Video tutorial

Model: Honda Civic MK 6 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Valve
Operation: Valve clearance adjustment

This operation is very delicate and advisable only for expert people. Remove the left front wheel to access the crankshaft in order to rotate it in the right position. Remove the spark plugs and all the head mechanics until you remove the casing that protects the valves. Before proceeding, check the reference mark on the right of the cylinder head in correspondence with the timing belt pulley. Using the thickness gauges, insert them between the adjustment screw and the end part of the valve stem. Using a fixed wrench to unscrew the lock nut and a screwdriver, adjust the calibration screw carefully following the instructions in the maintenance manual. If this procedure is not carried out correctly, it will cause the engine to malfunction. Move the crankshaft to the new position and adjust the other valves. Proceed until all valves have been adjusted. Once the operation has been completed, replace the valve cover gasket and reassemble what was previously removed.
