I have a d16y7 motor and doing a mini-me swap.... When i first pulling the head out.. the Motor is not at TDC.. i pulled the old head out and put the new vtec head on exactly the way it i took the old head out... all the marks align, word up: face the same way.... but when i tried to start it won't start.... the motor is running but it seems to to start.... i check there's fuel and sparks..

not sure if was the timing is off or not? how do you reset the timing????

 

Its your timing my brother had the same problem.

 

how do you reset the timing??? help please

 

take the belt of and set your timing marks to spec. go buy a Haynes manual and the setting are shown there. I could sit here and describe it but i'll just get frustrated, thats what the military does to you,lol.
