can anyone tell me the torque numbers for the head cam caps intake and ex. bolts on a 1994 civic 1.5? also the valve lash setting.cold. the crank pulley also has 3 marks together and one by itself which seems to be tdc . I want to be sure that the timing is set right when i put it back together. Im a v8 guy so this is kinda new to me. Do the head bolts need sealant? it dosnt look like they go into any waterjackets> shes got 380000miles on er and will rise again! burnt an ex valve...im shootin for a half million miles. mabey honda will do a comercial on it when i get there and give me a free car for advertising. it has the original clutch but the thro bearing is gettin noisy. Thanks for the help.

start with a helms manual. I can't believe you're working on a car without one.

helmet are you a salesman for helms manuals? This is pretty basic stuff. I rebuilt this head at 200000 miles i just dont remember the torque values. Thanks again.

8mm bolts:
D16Z6, D15Z1 engines: 14 ft. lbs. (20 Nm)
D15B7, D15B8 engines: 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm)
6mm bolts:
All engines: 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm)

The three marks are for setting ignition timing..
The mark by itself is TDC and BTW Honda engines run counter-clockwise..
[Something that confused me when I first played with one..]
PS&gt;Apply engine oil to the threads of the head bolts...

if they are the 8mm bolts, i dont have my helms in front of me but 16 ft/lbs rings a bell.

You see its not as it seems, if you do not give me the combination to the airshield, dr schlotkin will give your daughter back her old nose.
