i know how to get piston #1 at TDC but im confused on getting the other 3 there. im doing a valve adjustment today and need to get them there. so far i've found https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1305086 which says how to adjust them, but i am still unclear on the TDC for the others...

thanks

 

single cam or dual cam?
u can line up the tdc mark from crank pulley to lower timing belt cover. and turn crank pulley counterclock wise until up arrow facing up thats piston 1 and then turn crank pulley uncounter clock wise, until up arrow facing left thats piston 3. and the up arrow down is pistons 4..the up arrow to the right is piston 2

 

to find tdc for cylinders 2,3,4?

 

there is no direct tdc marks for pistons 2 ,3 and 4..u have to turn crank pulley to match the tdc marks on the cam gear for piston 2,3,4

 

1. take out the spark plugs
2. put a wooden dowel or something similiar in the hole
3. turn crank till your ("piece of whatever" is at its highest point)
4. bingo, that cylinder is at TDC

 

thanks my haynes manuel actually had a better way. #1 tdc w/up at top. cyl #4 w/top at 9 oclock or something like that, i left the book downstairs. and so on and so forth doing that.

didnt i say the exact same thing on my second post? the up arrow points to left 9 oclock and right 3 oclock ?

 

kind of, i was already done by the time you posted that, and the "oclock" phrasing helped me out more.

cool

 

Turn 90* CCW off of 1 at TDC to get 2 to TDC, another 90* to get 3 to TDC, another 90* to get 4 to TDC.

 

also another good way to describe it. thanks
