I have searched and haven't really found what I am looking for. This is my first time doing a timing belt on a DOHC motor. Sorry guys but I am pretty stumped/frustrated and lost at the moment..

I bought my B18C1 with the exhaust cam off by a tooth from TDC. I am want to reset the timing on the motor because I want to get my car tuned and verify if I have REAL SKUNK2 cams or not.




Yesterday while I was working on the car the Intake Cam slipped and right now the intake cam is completely off TDC. Now both cams are off TDC..

I wasn't really thinking so I took a 14mm wrench to the cam gear bolt and turned the INT/EX cam COUNTER CLOCKWISE to try to line up the cams at TDC. After I did this, I was able to line the EX cam TDC and then i tried the same method on the INT cam. I was able to almost line the INT cam TDC but this time the INT cam is off a tooth while the EX cam is at TDC.. It just hit me now that I may have fudged up something by doing this?




What can I do next to get the cams to sit right at TDC now?

 

HOLY BATMAN those are big pictures.. Pictures are now up!

 

do you know if the head was milled or block decked ? that can cause uneven-ness like you're having if the amounts taken off were large enough. had that when I had my head milled a sizeable amount. 2nd thing you can do is get adjustable cam gears. if they are skunk2 cams you'll see S2 on the intake/ex side post pics of cams .

 

To my knowledge this head was never milled....

I am resorting to just taking off the cam caps and hopefully it can align the cam gears that way.

 

had to do that a few times lol should work gl.
