Accord LX Sedan L4-2254cc 2.3L SOHC (VTEC) MFI (1998)
Valve Clearance: Adjustments
NOTE: Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head temperature is less then 100°F (38°C).
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
2. Set the No. 1 piston at Top Dead Center (TDC). The "UP" mark (A) on the camshaft pulley should be at the top, and the TDC grooves (B) on the
pulley should line up with the top edge of the head.
3. Select the correct thickness feeler gauge for the valves you're going to check.
Intake: 0.26 mm (0.010 inch) +/- 0.02 mm (0.0008 inch)
Exhaust: 0.30 mm (0.012 inch) +/- 0.02 mm (0.0008 inch)
4. Insert the feeler gauge (A) between the adjusting screw (B) and the end of the valve stem and slide it back and forth; you should feel a slight
amount of drag.
