2000 ACCORD - Valve Clearance Adjustment
NOTE: Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head temperature is less than 100ºF (38ºC).
1.'98-99 models: Remove the throttle body cover (A), ignition wire cover (B) and intake manifold covers (C).
'00-02 models: Remove the throttle body cover (A), intake manifold covers (B) and intake manifold cover stay (C). '98-99 models:
'00-02 models:
2.Remove the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister hose (A) from the throttle body.
3.Remove the vacuum hose (B) and breather pipe (C), then remove the intake air duct (D).
bend the cables when removing them. Always replace any kinked cable with a new one.

本田雅阁召回9.Remove the front upper cover.
10.Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. Align the pointer (A) on the back cover with the No. 1 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
11.Select the correct thickness feeler gauge for the valves you're going to check.
Intake:0.20-0.24 mm (0.008-0.009 in.)
Exhaust:0.28-0.32 mm (0.011-0.013 in.)
Adjusting screw locations:
12.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.
13.If you feel too much or too little drag, loosen the locknut (A), and turn the adjusting screw (B) until the drag on the feeler gauge is correct.
14.Tighten the locknut and recheck the clearance.
Repeat the adjustment if necessary.
15.Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the back cover with the No. 4 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
17.Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the back cover with the No. 2 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
19.Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the back cover with the No. 5 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
