i have a 96 gsr engine my buddy was changing the headgasket and he forgot how the cam caps go back they have the numbers 4-1, 3 ,2-2. now we know that 3 goes in the middle we're just confused about the other two which looks exactly alike any help would be appreciated thanks, i've searched and all i can find are the cam seal replacements,

is the correct order #1 or #2

#1 dizzy 4-1, 3, 2-2 timing belt

or

#2 dizzy 2-2, 3, 4-1 timing belt

 

Heres my 98 b18c5. Im sure its the same

 

thanks for the reply dc4lsteg, can't see the numbers, see how the 2 middle cam caps looks exactly the same but they have numbers on em to tell em apart just need to see those, we dont want to mix up the caps since it can mess up the cams

[QUOTE=famous323;47448219]from dizzy side 2-3-4[/QUOTE

thanks for the reply just a quick Q is the order of the cam caps year specific?

i found and downloaded a pdf of a 94 integra manual and found the order
DIZZY 4-3-2 its page 6-77 on the manual weird

 

up need a definite answer

 

#1 is always closest to the timing belt.

 

I just checked my factory manuals. The #1 cam holder on all engines is always at the timing belt end. #5 is at the distributor end. Now you know where #2 and #4 go.

Note that there are arrows on the holders. These must point towards the timing belt.

 

ill check mines tonight and post pics

 

Make sure they each have the arrows pointing toward the crank.

Put them in backwards and you rape the cams.

 

As everyone indicated, 1 is always the timing belt side, and make sure the arrows point to the timing belt

 

ok thanks for the reply guys, so its goin to be

Dizzy 2-2, 3, 4-1 TB

i will also post pictures of the numbers and arrows on the cam caps

 

if you put your caps on exactly as pictured above you will have them in the correct order. you cannot mess up if you do it just like the one above. they only go on in one orientation. the slits on the top of the cap face the timing belt side of the engine. there is your definite answer that was already given to you BUT you could not interpret it for yourself, so i did it for you. a picture is worth a thousand words goddamn.

 

ok everyone is right disregard my first post start from the timing belt side 1-2-3-4-5.

 

I believe OP just wanted to make sure how to find out exactly where the two caps that look the same go and not switch those 2 up. Which you cant tell from the pic I posted

 

make sure your dowel pin and o ring is still under cap 3 in order to your vtec to engage.

 

calm down

 

this

 

im not hyper...the reason i said what i said, was because, after the picture was posted, you were still somehow confused on how they went together. i just wanted it to be crystal clear for you.

 

No, it's
"Dizzy" 4-1, 3, 2-2, TB.

 

thanks bud

 

got it

dizzy 5,4,3,2,1 TB

only the first numbers of the two digits matter, thats where i was getting confused thanks for all the help guys

 

I don't know what the second digits mean; the manuals do not mention them, which is weird.

 

It's the Number of people it takes to install cam caps
