hey all i'm having trouble w/ the timeing on my d16z6 mini me it's a 91 civic si 1.6 w/ a 94 ex sohc vtec z6 head. well i'm having trouble finding tdc. on the cam sproket that is. there's 3 marks that look like "l" one verticle at 12 o clock and the 2 horizontal at 3 and 9. then there is a arrow on the inner t-belt cover... well what i'm getting to is that i'm not sure where to line what mark to... any idea's???? i just want to make sure timeing is on because i know it's way off. btw i'm running a p28 ecu. i will post pics of the marks and stuff later today but i really want to get this done tonight.

ok man the one mark will go to 12o,clock and the other two will iline up with the sealing edge of the valve cover, then you know that the head is timed.. now you have to take the timing belt off and spin the motor up to tdc by turning the crakshaft. if the head is already on the car then you will have to pull a plug and put a screw driver loosely in the plug hole, adn now spin the crank until the screw drive comes all the way up, and then starts to go back down, stop turning the crank just as the screw driver starts to go down, and that will be the tdc of the motor, now all you have to do is put the head back or, or just put the timing belt back on...make sure the screw driver goes in cylinder # 1 !!!!!!
thanks

can i take off the belt and rotate the cam sprocket 180deg so it's at tdc to fix it. the crank is at tdc and the vertical mark is at 12 oclock instead of 7
