im, new to honda tech, i have a few question about my motor swap. The motor in my car was a D15, I swaped it out and drop a B18b LS motor, but the ls motor wont start. im getting spark and fuel. i found out that my timing belt had jumped some gears so i re-did the timing, and i tryed to start it, i cranked it and it did a loud backfire and then it just continue cranking and not turn over. Any Ideas?

 

have you got any cels? try messing with the starter..see if anything is unplugged if not then try tapping it a fewtimes with a piece of tube or something..if that dosent work hit us back

 

Plug wires mixed up maybe? Or the valves could also be out of adjustment.

 

i got the distrubtor going on 1 3 4 2, starter is running good. im taking off the head right now to see if there is any bent valves or not. but what should the valve gap be?

 

Distributor should look like this :

3 4

1 2


Gap should be:
Intake: .08mm-.12mm (.003"-.005")
Exhaust: .16mm-.20mm (.006"-.008")

 

Thanks should i go back to dealer ship to get my head gasket?

 

err... I just had the same problem and it turned out my ITR was blown. Take the plugs off and do a compression test, I did that and found my spark plug blown to ****!

No i dont think we done business

 

Are you sure you're not 180 Degrees out?

 

I got it running now its so dam loud i need an exhaust system.

 

Yah not to sound like Im repeating anything here but you are sure that the timing is on point? The reason I ask is that I was having the same problem until yesterday. I found out that the crank was not at TDC. I made sure the crank and the pulleys themselves were where they needed to be and the car started on the 1st try.
