A Possible Solution For Swed_honda (closed thread)
Admin if you will allow this I might have a possible solution to Swed_honda : "plz help me, dosent start.. checked almost everything 
" closed post.
Seems that he would rather guess than test his compression but, maybe the following is the issue: https://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-d...-180-a-896232/
Possibly, the distributor was rebuilt 180 degrees out of phase

Note the following within that thread:
"There's a snap ring on the key. The key fits in the end of the cam one way only. The 2 teeth are slightly offset to one side to prevent you from putting the distributor on and having the timing off 180° and the engine not run. If you ever put one of these Distributors on before, you know what I mean about only going in one way.
So once the snap ring is removed (I only slid it up enough) then you can remove the pin from the center.
That pin locks the key to the shaft so they turn as one.
NOTE: mark which side of the shaft the 2 teeth are offset toward. Even though the key will only go into the cam the correct way, the key can be installed on the shaft of the distributor the wrong direction, turned 180° backwards. I learned this the hard way when my car wouldn't start once everything was back together. There's thin washers under the key too, don't lose it because it can stick to the key.
More pics of this when I put the dizzy back together later."
