2. Are there any issues with fuel buildup behind the inoperative intake valve? Upon researching, it looks like the VTEC-E setup actually opens the 2nd intake valve a very small amount just for the purpose of keeping fuel from pooling on the valve.
Thanks for any info!

The spacers are shown here:

#8 and #9 in the diagram. It's a little confusing since Honda strangely included 16 rockers in the HF diagram.
Looks like they might not be available anymore. I got mine from a junkyard. The 1992-1995 CX should have them as well. Or find a pipe with the same inside diameter as the rocker shaft diameter and make your own!
If there's fuel building up behind the valves, I haven't noticed it. I've got something like 5000-6000 miles on it like this, no issues. But you'll never see the top half of your tachometer again!
