Default Is there a cylinder head assembly guide?

I've been searching around on here, looking for a cylinder head assembly guide. Particularly it would be great to have the basic instructions on all the measurements relating to valves, valve springs, cams, etc. that need to be done and considered, so that everything will be ensured to work properly together.

Is anything like that available?

... or purchase a FSM for your engine model/year and use that for reference.

I have one sir. I want to learn how all specs work for valves, springs, cams etc. Assembly itself is pretty easy.

If you have a FSM, you should have everything that you need. Remember that there are general measurements/specs found at the front of the book and then there are specific system sub-sections. Sometimes there may not be the data about something specific that you might be interested in, but where there is a tolerance value, there will at least be a "service limit" measurement. Honda has never printed cam profile lift/duration values because the grinds are proprietary. You would have to find that data online... and then, decide if the source is trustworthy. A machine shop with a "Cam Doctor" could measure what you have if you just needed to know.

Ok understood. I will look for that info in the FSM. Taking the head to a machine shop to measure everything is a good idea. Thanks!
