If anyone has an answer for this please let me know...ive searched through and through and cant find the direct answer im looking for.

Seems like most z6 crank pulleys have 4 marks...3 ignition marks for 14* 16* 18* and 1 sitting off by itself which is the mechanical timing mark. Well my crank pulley has 2(TWO) marks sitting off by themselves seperate from the 3 ignition marks. My question is does the pointer on the belt cover point to the left/right mark or in the middle of them? Any help will be appreciated.

just put your dipstick in the #1 cylinder and what till u feel it at tdc and that will do it

I don't want to 'feel' where tdc is..I want it to be precise. Just looking for an answer to my specific question.

look in the FAQ section? there is a write up on how to change water pump and timing belt for the d16z6

Just try what the man said, and see which mark it puts you closer to. Then if you so choose to use that mark then fine.

I haven't ever seen a pulley like you describe. Can you post a picture?

Yes del solo I've looked in that faq, the car in said faq has only one slash near tdc position on crank pulley, mine has 2. Like I said, I've searched everywhere. Even downloaded service manual and the answer isn't in there

Yes keithsda ill post a pic when I get home, and I really don't want to do the dipstick method, I just nee someone with the answer to my question to shed some light on the subject

here i took these pic from username californiadad




take off your crank pulley and plastic covers. match up the arrow from the oil pump with the crank sproket like so

Lol smh..I know you're trying to help del solo but that's not what I'm looking for. Not looking for an alternate way of timing the motor. I just want to know which of the 2 marks on my crank pulley depicts tdc..that is my quesion.

delsolo95

then you must have the wrong crank pulley. ive done numerous timing belt/waterpump jobs and no honda pre 92-95 has five marks on them. either you need a different pulley to set tdc, do what i posted pics of or do what the other guy said and put a dip stick in the #1 piston and see which 1 of the 2 lines on the crank pulley meets up with the arrow. easy

if you cant figure that out. take it to a shop

Ill just wait for someone to post that has an answer to my question. Its the original pulley that came on the motor. And its not that I can't "figure out" how to do what u said..itss that I do not want to.

here they are

Like I said before... I've personally never seen a pulley like that. (May not mean a whole lot)

So I guess you have rare crankshaft pulley. Now, if your main concern is setting the mechanical timing of your engine then pick one of the aforementioned methods and be done with it.

Good luck brother.
