Hi Max.
1. Are you stating that the sprocket on the intake cam does NOT have to be removed to remove the intake cam? I assume that this is possible because the sprocket on the exhaust cam and the exhaust cam have been removed first?
2. In your discussion you have described rotating the sprockets / shafts counter clockwise. Do you accomplish this by rotating the crankshaft?
3. I didn't see anywhere in your instructions where you talk about aligning the crankshaft marks simultaneously when you align the cams. Can you provide some insight to how you ensured the crankshaft was properly positioned, and the correct position maintained, when you aligned the cam shafts and installed the cam shaft gears?
4. I haven't read my Honda shop manual for some time now, but I don't remember it stating that the cam chain tensioner is to be removed. I thought that releasing the chain tension using the special tool was all that was required, although I agree removing the entire tensioner makes good sense.
Thank you Max.
PS - now we all know what a handsome devil you are! LOL!
