Keep it really low key and don't rev it too high. You could detonate or collide the pistons and valves very easilly when in this state. That said, you really shouldn't be driving it at all.

Edit: and your sig should read "VTEC for PRESIDENT" not V-TEC.

i wouldnt recommend driving it until you fix the problem. your car must run like crap right now.

you're 4.5 degrees off from where you should be.

Loosen the T-belt tensioner, slide the belt off the gears, turn the crank pulley to TDC, turn the cam gears to tdc, slide the belt on, tighten the tensioner.

What is so difficult?
