Did you figure out if it was the cam timing? 1 tooth off in the wrong direction can cause a no start condition.

Re: skunk2 cams for a 99 gsr

Also keep in mind if you go over 11 c/r you'll need a tune to avoid detonation (pinging) on 91 octane (garbage). Maybe you're lucky and have 93 octane by you. You won't necessarily ping @ 11, but...

Re: skunk2 cams for a 99 gsr

You will need a tune for sure to avoid engine damage after valvetrain swap. If you don't use S2 springs the short warranty is void on the cams (fine print). Supertech springs and retainers work fine...

Re: Mystery Engine tapping

Fair enough, I always assumed the #'s in parenthesis were (new) like the top of the chart says. I use the sticker under the hood for reference, but gsr has different #'s. Did you measure between...

Re: Mystery Engine tapping

Those specs are for brand new cams/rocker arms/valves/seats/rocker arm pivot tubes, etc. Unless you have an all new cylinder head and entire valvetrain, the unhighlighted #'s are to be used....

Re: Mystery Engine tapping

Op- make sure, when adjusting lash, to put your feeler gauges between cam and rocker, not valve stem tip and rocker. Yes, that's way too tight on the intakes...

Re: Intermittent ignition problem

Re: type r tranny

When the synchros/sleeves go bad its near impossible to shift without grindage. But the other dude is right. The notchiness comes, in my experience, from sloppy linkage/old shift bushings/old fluid...

Re: idle problems - tried everything, pulling hair out

Seafoam it to clean carbon off backside of valves. Changing the cam profile/timing changes how the fuel/air hits the valve inside the port slightly. So I'm basically saying you're fuel is being...

Re: Intermittent ignition problem

Ignition switch in the column gives these intermittent symptoms. Most of the time fine, once in a while no power gets through it.

Re: Car shakes pretty badly under acceleration !. most of the time

(Wheel bearing check) also you might hear a slight "growling" sound from the wheel w/bad bearing when driving.

Did that wheel bearing check out? Tire balance good? Both were mentioned, but not follow up.

Re: best tires for street racing.

.Cliffs- save up for lsd (edit: IF your car runs at least 14's otherwise lsd is pointless) then you're tire choice isn't as critical because both tires are biting

Re: ob1 Acura ignition timing marks dont line up

Ok, cuz I've seen like 1/2 -1 tooth off from machining. However, if that's right it must be distributor related like someone previously mentioned-

Re: ob1 Acura ignition timing marks dont line up

Multiple times resurfacing the head will throw your timing out of whack and it will be sluggish, too. How many head gaskets on the car have been replaced that you know of??

Have you checked to make sure your cams are tdc in relation to the crankshaft w/o engine running?

That will tell you if the wheel bearing is bad, too. Not bad to check though.

Prybar between the two pieces that the ball joint connects. Should have no play, minimal, if any.

Re: 98 civic, metal bar in the way of replacing rear O2 sensor

You need a shorter O2 bung or remove the de-fouler (extension) piece. The O2 sensor should be directly in the exhaust stream, not shrouded in a side tube. If anything, have it 45'd leaning forward...
