I just did my valve adjustment last Thursday. My valve are still ticking. Firing order: 1-3-4-2. Arrow up with cam mark line up w/ crank pully marks line up means I'm at #1 TDC. Arrow left on cams means #3 TDC and Arrow down on cams means #4 TDC and right means #2 TDC. It's easy to find the top dead center for #1, but how you know the rest are @ TDC since you cannot match it up to the crank pull to the lower cover or the marks on the cams? How you know #3, #4, #2 @ TDC by looking just at the cam arrows? The engine is kind of tilted where you cannot just eyeball and to be sure that it is at TDC. PLease help.. Also, what valve I can adjust when I'm at #1 TDC and #4 TDC to make the job go by faster?

tooo....many....questions.....brain....hurts!

cam gear, arrow marks and them lil cuts on them are use to tell the crank position. the crank pulley also. i would strongly recommend a helms.

c-speed has a howto article, check that out for referance

 

read the c-speed already, but how you know exactly when is 3, 4 , 2 @ TDC since you can't match it up on the crank pulley like the #1 TDC?

 

save yourself the trouble and pay out the 150$ acura charges to get it done.

 

no i did it already, but just need to make sure I did it correct. I probably pull the valve cover off this Friday and recheck the clearance, but need the question answer. If anyone knows, please let me know.. thanks
