drewkuch Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have a 1994 honda civic. 5 speed 1.5 liter engine. I just bought a used 1.5 liter engine with a 1.6 liter vtec head (can someone explain this?) and headers. Said it has 50,000 and runs, so bought it for a couple hundred dollars. Well the timing cover had to be modified by me to fit the new 1.6 liter head. No problem, but I accidentally bumped the camshaft pulley, now i'm screwed with timing. I dont have a book, and wanted to know what timing marks i need to line up before i put the engine in the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewkuch Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Please help! I'm stuck until i get it timed correctly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewkuch Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 http://www.2carpros.com/car_repair_informa...agram_marks.htm I think i have the timing correct now... I started with the camshaft gear. The word "up" is vertical, or facing up. and the two horizontal lines are aligned with the head. I placed the key straight up, and theres a pointer mark on the block behind the crank gear that lined up with my mark on the crank gear (just offset of the key). then i placed the balancer and timing cover on. The mark on the timing cover is aligned with the very far right line on the balancer (single line). theres 3 lines together and one single line on my balancer, i lined it up with the single line. I want a few people to tell me this is correct before i install the engine. Please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 from what i've read cam timing is off by half a tooth on this kind of setup (4.5 degrees) but i don't remember if you need to advance or retard it by that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewkuch Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Ok, I think its counter-clockwise. I'm guessing off a groove counter-clockwise. This correct? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
