Thanks for using FixYa.
To install:
-
Install a new head gasket on the engine, making certain it is
positioned correctly. The cylinder head dowel pins and the oil jet must
be in place. Refer to the illustrations if necessary.
-
Install the head. Lower it straight down onto the block, aligning it correctly.
-
Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads and the contact face of the bolt head. Install the head bolts finger-tight.
-
On all models except 1988-89 DOHC Prelude and 1992-95 Preludes
with 2.3L and VTEC engines, tighten the head bolts following sequence A.
On 1988-89 DOHC Preludes, use sequence B. Use sequence C on 1992-95
Preludes with 2.3L and VTEC engines.
-
On 1984-89 Accords and 1984-91 Preludes, tighten the bolts in two
passes. The first pass should bring the bolts to about 22 ft. lbs. (30
Nm). On the second pass, tighten the bolts to their final torque of 49
ft. lbs. (68 Nm).
-
On 1990-93 Accords, tighten the bolts to 29 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) on
the first pass, 51 ft. lbs. (70 Nm) on the second pass, then tighten the
bolts to their final torque of 78 ft. lbs. (108 Nm).
-
On 1994-95 Accords and 1992-95 Preludes, the bolts
are also tightened in three passes. Tighten the bolts to 29 ft. lbs.
(40 Nm) on the first pass, 51 ft. lbs. (70 Nm) on the second pass, then
tighten the bolts to their final torque of 72 ft. lbs. (100 Nm).
