That procedure looks the same. I didn't look up actual clearance numbers, so you should do that for your particular year/engine.

Judging from his photos, he usedmore HondaBond in the corners of the VC gasket than I would have used.

Incidentally, Honda traditionally gives valve clearance spec for SOHC engines at the top of the valve stem, just like shown in that procedure. But for DOHC engines (B & H series) Honda normally gives valve clearance at the camshaft lobe.

Even though that is for a Civic, that is a good write up with some good pics. Maybe a mod should place in the DIY section for future reference?
