Another Problem?
So the camshaft marks are now set to TDC aswell as the crankshaft mark. When I install the pulley, The pulley mark does not align to the mark on the bottom timing belt cover. Is it possible its the wrong pulley? Will be ignoring the timing gun for now until I solve the problem.
Also will be looking into getting a timing belt tensioner when I finish moving. By the looks of the belt it seems like its been rubbing on the cover. Not a problem just gotto get my car from point A to B then ill replace when i finished moving. Better to replace then chance it even though it was a new belt.
Looking To Buy:
Honda Timing Belt $68.00
Honda Tensioner $69.75
Honda Tensioner Spring $12.00
Then ill need to go to junkyard and find a 94-97 DC integra with a b18b1 and see if I have the same pulley or not

Been Awhile
So since i been away ive had acouple things happen. Friend of mine now has another simular White DA, Got an alignment after all the suspension parts being installed, Then acouple months after some racing/Daily Driving i notice a big change in engine performance, oil consumption and spark plug #4 was oily. Thinking it was a Piston ring i bought a compression tester and found out that #4 was dead. So i removed head to confirm and ended up being a blown valve. Could be a cause of a failed smog test but well see. Ordered tools to do a complete valve job and gasket set. Luckily i already have a spare B18B1 Head to spot the 2 burnt valves.

Tire Size
Seen some LS Meshs on facebook that has 195-50 sized tires and loved the way they sat so next set of tires ill be looking at switching from 195-60 to 205-50 to have less sidewall and a wider tire since ive noticed rear end sway. Would like to get some strut bars when cars up and running
Current: 195-60-15
Next: 205-50-15 (Falken)
195-60-15

Back To Work!
So i got impatient and went ahead and used a extension and my thumb and compressed valve springs and installed keys.
Did some internal cleaning
Been Awhile. . .
So when I replaced that burnt valve I ended up doing all that hard work to find out I should’ve resurfaced head and installed new valve seals. So now since I learned my hard lesson ill be my head to a friend who does diamond cut/ Hot tanking. Will be waiting to install my valve seals once he finishes. For now I got my new 2016 tags and will be going to dmv tomorrow to get 2 new license plates since im missing the front.
