    Go get a $20 shop manual from an auto parts store. Or maybe an online honda owners group may be able to help you.

    I was only able to find 2.3 L. Hope this helps

    ④ Step 1: 22 ft. lbs.

    Step 2: Rotate 90 degrees

    Step 3: Rotate 90 degrees

    Step 4: If new bolt rotate

    additional 90 degrees

    8 6 2 4 10

    9 3 1 5 7

    (1 being in the middle and 9/7 being either side)

    Cylinder head bolts are torque to yield, you should be using new bolts. Step 1: 22 ft-lb. Step 2: 52 ft-lb. Step 3: 90 degrees from starting point. Looking at the head: Upper row of bolts, second one from the left is #1 Lower row of bolts, third one from the left is #2 Upper row of bolts, third one from the left is #3 Lower row of bolts, second one from the left is #4 Upper row of bolts, first one in the row is #5 Lower row of bolts, first one in the row is #6 Upper row of bolts, last one in the row is #7 Lower row of bolts, last one in the row is #8 Keep in mind, the upper row of bolts are the ones that are under the valve cover (closest to the intake side of the head)and the lower row of bolts are by the exhaust ports on the head. Good Luck....
