My friend told me my valve timing on my prelude was messed up, and he said he could fix it. Is it a easy process to re-align valve timing? Thanks

 

Unless your timing belt has skipped a tooth or you have adjustable cam gears, then your valve timing is fine. If you've skipped a tooth, you have more to worry about than just the current valve timing.

Changing valve timing on our engine without adjustable cam gears is impossible without offsetting the teeth from the timing belt, which is not an option.

 

he probably meant a valve adjustment whic is relatively easy if you have the right tool

 

Yes, that's probably what he meant. I should have thought of that.

 

thanks, but any idea how to do it?

I don't want to see my friend **** up while me and him are doing it and then I get stuck w/ a big *** bill on my hands after

thanks again~!

 

It's called valve lash adjustment..Get a Helms manual It is invaluable. If you want I could email you the chapter, to walk you through it.

lemme know.

n'vermind, sorry...your car is an SI, mines 5thgen H22a4, wouldn't be the same..
