still in the tune phase that is harder than buliding the thing
That’s what I say too. If you can’t make fine adjustments with the distributor, you probably were off a little on cam or crank position when you reinstalled your timing belt. Don’t you love these repeat suggestions???:horny:
Did you fix the problem?
I have the same thing except I can’t retard it to 16 degrees, even if it is fully retarded.
The timing belt isn’t off a tooth because I checked
i don’t know how it got that way but they was right on my cam pulley the intake cam was retarded really bad and the exhaust was a little advanced so i had just enough overlap to allow the motor to run. but i had a misfire sometime while just driving along.
i think it got that way because i was using a b16 timing belt i am now switching to a gsr timing belt i think it is about 10 millmeters longer i hope that fixes my last problem so i can start to tune it for max power
Whoa… is that the right timing belt? U hafta have the VTEC oil pump gear (and I think the VTEC water pump too) in order to use a VTEC timing belt… That’s what I read when I did my swap…
Now obviously if the motor’s running then that’s probably not a problem… But just to throw this little bit of info at ya my LS/VTEC uses a B18A timing belt. It was crazy trying to find those marks though compared to LS cam gears I was like: “Uhh… where are the marks?” took me forever to find them on the outside edge of the gears. lol. stupid me.
