Valve cover removal with JRSC? - Honda Prelude Forum

Hey guys, I figure I need to remove the valve cover for a quick valve adjustment, but I was looking under the hood the other day and realized the jackshaft gets in the way. My valves are ticking pretty loudly when cold, so I should really check it out, regardless of that..... a little bit of creative thinking makes me believe that I'll have to remove or at least losen that part of the blower, but other than doing that, is there an easier way?

I figure someone like Shark has done this often enough to do a quick walkthrough before I blow 3 hours losening stuff I dont need to.

Sorry dude, blower and jackshaft have to come off. However, having removed the blower once, I found it really wasn't that bad.

Ahh well, i guess it'll be a weekend project, was hoping i could make it an after-work project....

Thanks for the quick reply shark

Don't try shaving the part of the Jackshaft that interferes with the valve cover- That area is hollow!

I've removed my valve cover twice WITHOUT having to remove the blower for sure, all you have to do is remove the 3 hex screws on the pully that connects the jackshaft, it should give you enough play, also remove 3 of the screws on the jackshaft connection which will give you even more play in the assembly to be able to get the valve cover off. As far as the blower it does NOT need to be removed for sure.

If it can be done, that would be great. However, what 6 screws exactly are you referring to?
