I just finished putting on the timing belt in my prelude..and when I tried to start it it would just crank over but would not start..i would have to keep my foot on the gas just to keep it alive..so then i checked the marks on the cams notice the exhaust side of the cam gear is a little off..now my question is there any other way i can adjust the timing through the distributor or do i have have to do every thing over again?? please tell me theres something that could be done!!

 

Also on the flywheel there are lines on that you match up to the timing mark right...theres 1 line and if you turn the flywheel over theres three more lines..i think...which one do i line the mark to?

 

Make sure you did'nt forget a ground or any vaccum lines.

 

If your cam is off youll have to put it back to 0 because the timing mark on the flywheel is your overall timing .

ok, if you cam is not in time with respect to your crankshaft, then you cannot correct it by shifting the distributor

 

So which line should I line up the flyweel mark to? Theres about four marks I think.

 

Line up your cam gears to where all the marks look even with the head.

Then take a look at your flywheel.

It should be on the white horizontal mark on the flywheel
when you look through the timing hole.

Or line up the white mark and look at your cam gears to see
if they are even.

You'll have to jump the service connector and use a timing gun to see
if you can adjust it to 15% btdc.

If you can't get it to 15% btdc by adjusting the distribotor, then you'll have
to take the tb off and realign all the timing marks.
