Ok i had the car running about a mouth ago smooth , but took the timing belt off to get a new one , the motor has been fully rebuilt with all CTR internals i retimed it around 1030 started pulled it out of the garage , running rough but noticed the timing belt was floopy in rotation and it was popping and stuff like it was out of time , so i re-timed it now i can't get the car to even run it just turns over and pops every now and then i have re-timed the damn thing 10 times

i have Brian Crower Stage 2 Cams , Skunk2 Adjustable Cam Gears ,

blah blah blah
what is going on ?

( motor is a obd-1 ) but like i said it was running very smooth

 

BUMB

 

Are you throwing any CEL?

Not doubting your mechanic skills...but have you ever done timing before this? Are you using a timing light?

 

Your cam timing is WAY off.

 

X3 Are you sure your doing the timing right?
You have the cam gears set at 0,0 correct?

 

Im doubting them right now lol, ive timed dozen of civic and teggys just almost thinking that it doesnt like me at this point lol thanks for helping out ill keep trying to retime it

 

so are your cam gears set at 0,0?

 

Definitely sounds like timing. I had the same issue in my SR20 (sorry.. bit of a Nissan guy too) and the CAS (cam angle sensor) was a tooth off.

Make sure the crank pulley is at TDC then check the position of the cams. Once you get them lined up properly then make sure the rest of the reassembly is correct and you should be good.

 

Try starting all over again. I know it can be a hassle to redo it but it's good to make sure that you did everything right so you can eliminate issues it could be. Work backwards to see if you missed anything when you put it on. Make sure that everything is set right like your cam gears which you probably already know where they should be.

Hope this helps! happy Tuning!

 

Is it possible you have the distributor out 180 degrees? I know it's keyed to go in a certain way but it is possible to wedge it into the intake cam. Check that. If you haven't messed with it then disregard.

 

Thanks every one that gave me ideas i havent checked it today im am working on it tomorrow and im going to go threw everything ill let you guys know the out come

 

so i got a new timing belt to start off the day getting ready to rip it apart

 

So once again are you sure your adjustable cam gears are at 0,0?

 

i think they are

 

X2

 

How do you think? Post pics of your cam gears

 

just curious why you would have a gsr block and a b16 head? they both are Vtec right? did you just make do with what you had, or am i missing something here?

 

Its called a poormans type r

 

Ok i will take a picture of the cams in the morning and post it for you thanks for following and helping out

 

 

Ok, looks good. Is the crank gear lined up with the oil pump mark?

 

Is the red part lined up with the 0 on the black part of each cam? I can't tell from the pic

 

yes

 

ok found the probably bought a new timing belt , just retimed it and it runs like a champ i guess my old belt what just stretched out and it was jumping time

 

Problem*
