  Q: How to check and adjust valve clearances for the V6 Honda Passport?

  A: Start with the cold engine and put the number one piston in its top dead center. Disconnect the battery and remove the Spark Plugs and valve covers. Tighten camshaft bearing cap bolts and use a feeler gauge to measure valve clearance of the first cylinder, while noting any out-of-spec measurements. Rotate crankshaft 1/3 revolutions for other cylinders' valves check. To adjust the position camshaft lobe upward, depress the valve lifter, and remove the adjusting shim. Measure the thickness of the shim, calculate the thickness of the replacement shim, and install the new shim. Confirm with a feeler gauge. Repeat for all valves requiring adjustment then replace all removed parts.

  Q: How to check and adjust valve clearances on the four-cylinder Honda Passport?

  A: This guide doesn't apply to 2.2L four-cylinder engines with hydraulic valve lifters. With the engine cold, remove the air cleaner assembly and valve cover. Ensure rocker arm pedestal retaining nuts are tight. Rotate the crankshaft to bring the number one piston to TDC on the compression stroke. Check and adjust valves on cylinders 1, 2, and 3. Use a feeler gauge to check/adjust intake valve clearance. If adjustment is needed, loosen the adjusting screw locknut, adjust, then tighten. Repeat for other valves. Rotate the crankshaft one full turn clockwise to bring the number 4 piston to TDC. Check and adjust valves on cylinders 2, 3, and 4. Reinstall the valve cover and air cleaner assembly.
