Default Cam timing offset of d15b2 with d16z6 head.

I sent a rod through to the block of my d16z6 so I was forced to build a mini-me from a d15b2 block and a d16z6 head and headgasket. The motor runs well but I had to retard the distributor all the way just to get the igniton timing to 16 deg so I am asuming the cam timing is a little off with this head and block combo. I want to know if anybody knows exactly how many degrees the cam needs to be offset on my cam gear to get it all back to 0deg.

Dont quote me on this but I think you have to advance the cam timing 5 degrees to make it 0

base timing is 16 BTDC using the red mark on crank pulley

I am not sure exactly what you are asking, but you need to have the crank pulley at TDC and the cam gear at TDC.

Base timing like said above is at 16°

Refer to this thread for more info:

Actually what I was refering to is on certain mini-me setups the cam timing must be fine tuned with a cam gear because of a diffence in deck heights with the new head/block/headgasket combo, kinda like when you mill a head too much. Its a known problem on the d16a6 mini-mes but the d15b2 ones are not as documented. 5 deg seems about right, dont really care anymore though as this is just a temporary solution since my car is a daily driver and it runs pretty good.
