The tool clamps around the top of the auxiliary valve spring retainer and you use the slide hammer to pop the valve out after removing the retaining nut first (for which you'll need either a 21 or 22 mm deep 12 point socket). Note that there are two copper seal rings for each valve and you'll need to replace both of the them. The lower seal ring can be annoying to get out. However, with a little patience and a 90° pick such as this http://tinyurl.com/5b695 you should be able to get it out without damaging the valve bore. Eric |

Once the valves are removed, they can be disassembled by hand. In addition to the copper seal rings, also replace the o-ring of course. Also, make sure the valve bore in the head is clean of all carbon before installing the valve bodies back into the head (and don't forget to torque the locknuts). The cam tower/rocker arm assembly should be installed with the valve adjuster screws backed out 'till they're flush with the rocker arm to minimize the risk of catching one on a valve and bending it. Lastly, put a light coat of ultra gray silicone sealant on the head mating surfaces of the two end cam towers, the distributor carrier o-ring, and on the cam seal which may need to be replaced. Check the factory service manual for torque specs, http://www.helminc.com. By the way, you should check to see if the oil pump drive gear has been updated. This is a critical issue as these older Hondas had problems of eating up the gear teeth on the cam/drive gear resulting in metal contamination and loss of engine lubrication. This failure seemed to occur after the cam/cam towers/drive gear was disturbed. If you can remove the cam towers without removing the cap for the drive gear then you may be ok. However, it's best to update the drive gear if needed to be on the safe side. The old drive gear has a broad upper bearing surface while the updated drive gear has a more narrow upper bearing surface (about a 1/2 to 1/3 of the old style if I remember correctly) and a clip ring at the top.
