well, i have a jdm h22a in a 92 accord... (im actually working on tunning it right now) never mind that though.... well, i was trying to get my basemap to work right when the dredded h22 distributor **** the bed on me... now i was just wondering if the distributor going bad may have messed up stuff in my head (how would i know if **** was damaged) and how do i install the new distrib to make sure its set at the proper timming (is that a mark or something?) thanks guys...

 

put the new distributor on and set it in the middle, and if you are **** use a timing light to set timing on it.

 

kool, thats what i figured... now i was also told that the h22 timing was "different" with the h22... for example... you could turn the distributor all you want and not affect the timing... i guess what im asking is.. how do i adjust the timing on the h22? thanks again...

 

Actually it can damage the whole head when a distributor bearing stalls... Then it locks and your camshaft wants to spin Something will give up. Mostly camshaft. You can imagine the result

 

oh boy.. haha.. i dont think it stalled though.. i think it just wore out ... it had the typical "red dust" in the cap but when i took the distrib out it would spin ok but you could hear it grinding... thanks for the info... does anyone else have any tips on timing this bitch? thanks...

 

I gave you an answer and you give me yours here (if your nick is true) https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1299282

 

you've been PMed sir...

 

if you have an obd1 distrbutor you can adjust timing. if its ob2 then you cannot.
