I found this on a Honda Civic

It should be identical on our engines

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
difficulty: 2 of 5
parts: TDC Sensor 70-90$ depending on which dealer, ive called 3 with all different prices. (its made by mitsubishi?)
tools: ratchet with 10mm & a 1in or smaller extension, & a screwdriver

1. remove valve cover 5 10mm bolts, (doesnt have to be fully off just enough for the groove of the shield to be removed.)

2. there is a grommet and a plug to the right side if youre standing in front looking down at the vehicle unplug those.

3. remove 3 10mm screws holding the shield.

4.move power steering reservoir over to the side for easy access.

5. if you fully taken off the valve cover then it shouldnt be difficult to remove the shield. but if you just slightly lifted the right edge like i did, pull shield off while lifting the valve cover & shimmy it around the a/c hoses.

6. once the shields off its 1 more 10mm bolt holding down the tdc sensor, reverse for install and start the car to check for cel's and inspect for leaks if youve damaged/changed the valve cover gasket while removing. voila! cars back to normal

3.0 or 2.2 or 2.3?

on the 3.0 theres two.. well two sets on ebehind the top forward cam.. and one set behind the crank timing gear.
3.0



2.x doesent have a pic.. but its in about the same spot as the 3.0's upper one is.. its number15 in the pic.
on the 2.x its behind the cam on top.. behind the upper timing belt cover.
