ok i tried to give the best title ..but heres what happend...i was cleaning some grease near behind the motor ...stupid me while the car was on and the towl got caught and rotated i saw my cams slow down ..i mean now the car idles like a cherry 800 tops no lower it use to be a tad high....

anyway took the car for a spin and drives perfect

 

im just scared because right after i turned the car off scared...and tried to start it and it wouldnt after like the 5th time...now it turns over everytime....kinda odd

 

My buddy actually did this a few years ago on his b16. It didn't hurt anything.



Check the timing.

 

If its running good, nothing noticeable id say you got off easy, and be very happy.
Just like the previous post id check the timing to be 100% sure you didnt jump a tooth.
Good practice checking your timing anyway

 

to be honest the car idle better, it used to be in the 1000,1200 now it idles 800,900 tops...

could it be possible , my motor benefited from this ? not saying it was done on purpose but its really strange...

 

Dont over think it, just be happy.
Something worse could of happened.

 

How did you do that? Lol. I could use some of that

 

Lucky you!

 

Double check your timing, the towel probably threw it off some teeth. Just to be sure.... That's odd.

 

Maybe the timing was off to begin with and this made it better?

 

^ yea only thing i could think of is u jumped "back into" timing....maybe ur belt tensioner was a lil jacked n it setter straight ?

 

why don't you have any belt covers?

 

x2...and why was he wiping stuff down while the car was running with no belt covers

 

X3.... Be very happy you didn't mess anything up. Be glad it wasn't you're finger that got caught.
