Originally posted by mrhondaSetting it to TDC has nothing to do with the seal replacement, its just the first step when adjusting the valves. And trust me, you better adjust the valves after you replace the seals and torque those rockershafts down otherwise the valves will be WAY too tight and this can cause a rough idle and worst case burn a valve.
Just buy yourself a service manual, it will tell you everything you need to know.
2. How much did you guys pay for torque wrenches...how necessary are they...if they are expensive like mentioned above couldn't i just rent them...what other projects would i need them for?
3. does anyone have an answer to the recalibration questions?
4. are there any parts missing from the part list besides the feeler gauges?
5. i have the 91 accord lx honda service manual....do you know what section or page number the tube replacement is in....i cant find it anywhere....ive only found one page dealing with spark plugs and it doesnt say anything helpful
thx everyone for the input on this especially mrhonda; i'll attempt this real soon

Yes, you do need a torque wrench for this, mainly for all the rocker shaft bolts. As far as cost.....hard to say, I have all Snap-On stuff but its been so long I don't remember what I paid for any of it. I would just go to Sears and buy a Craftsman, you will use it more than once, just be sure to get a 1/4" drive. As far as calibration....not really sure, Sears might do them.
Like I sad before, setting the engine to TDC is not necessary for the seal replacement part, its for adjusting the valves. Just remember to spin the engine around a couple times after you torque the shfts down but before you set it to TDC and adjust the valves.00 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 4X4

I used a cheap korean made torque wrench. The lowest setting is 10 ft pounds. So I torqued all the smaller 9 ft lb bolts at 10. No big difference, as long as it's consistant. So its been almost 2 months, and no more oil in the holes. Just remember to coat the O rings with oil, just like you coat the oil filter seal with oil. Never use anything else on O rings, cause it's not the same thing as a gasket.

This is kind of off-topic, but I read what that guy from Taiwan wrote, and although it's not in perfect english it does make sense. It obviously didn't translate exactly right but I was able to understand what he was saying. In short, he was discussing how to identify and what the effects are of using "hotter" or "colder" spark plugs. Just gotta use your brain a little, people

I am going to have to replace my lower seals soon as well.
Is it nessecary to adjust your valves after you replace your seals?
Seems to me- and i may be wrong- that since you arent messing with the valves or the adjustment nuts when you are removing the rocker assembly, that you need not adjust the valves when you reassemble everything.
Can anyone provide insight to this, because I sure do hate valve adjustments. Thanks guys.
Also, how long does this take? 1 hour, half a day, or what so I know how long i need to set aside for it.

As far as time, it depends on skill level I guess. I can replace the lower seals, adjust the valves, and have it all put back together and running in about 15 minutes.....but then again, I've been doing this for years.00 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 4X4

Originally posted by HondaFan81Also, I recommend putting some Hondabond or similar silicone product on cylinder # 2 O-ring for a better seal because that oil passageway is next to it. After doing this job, a few weeks later (I drive about 600 miles a week), I checked the spark plug tubes again for kicks. I found cylinder # 2 with small amount of oil in it already. So I am forewarning you all, seal it better like I mentioned above if you want it done right. This was the first time I've done this, so I didn't know, but I am recommending this tip to you now that I learned.
What kind of seal did you guys use? Did you guys pick up HONDA bond at the dealer? or checkers?
I am unsure of what to COAT THE LOWER SEALS with. Some say use honda bond, some say use OIL.
Any ideas or suggestions?hahahahah
