correct.

correct.

yes - ft.lbs = lbf.ft = lb.ft. avoid "/" - it's force multiplied by
distance, not divided by.

yes.

yup. get the correct torque wrench. bending beam wrenches are cheap
but reasonably accurate. you

iirc, there's a honda service bulletin on this problem - u.s.-made cam
holder castings tend to be porous and leak oil. replacing the seals may
slow it down, but be prepared for it to not stop completely - my
experience with my 96 accord f22b2.

Update.
Did it this weekend and adjusted valves clearance afterwards.
Everything went as planned. The car runs very good. I still feel
quite uneasy about the torque settings, but hope it will hold.
Thanks to jim for pointing out that "/" is a division sign. I will
keep it in mind in my future posts.
Thanks to everybody who contributed.
Regards,
Sam
