can anyone show me a picture of what the timing and tdc marks look like on the crank pulley. mine are wore off pretty bad. i can barely tell anything is there and i am tryin to get an idea of about how far the marks are apart so i dont confuse them with anything else.

 

The yellow circle is what you`re aiming for, NOT the lines further toward the front of the car...GL

 

the true mark is on the gear behind the pulley take the pully off and use the gear to be sure. More trouble but more definate.

They are dead nutz accurate either way, there is no way the crank pulley can move from where it`s at...

 

thanks for your help...one last question...on the cam gear itself on the D16Y8...i noticed other honda have a sorta solid cam gear with the word UP on it and two lines that line up with the top of the head or whatever...but mine is like a star it has 5 arms and just the word UP on it. how can i be sure to get the cam timing right with the crank.

 

Those marks are the key to successful time. They must be absolutly perfect tho

 

thanks

 

how about on aftermarket cam gears like STR, I have them for my b18c. I need some help with adjustment for optimal timing. As soon as i get it done, I will post pics and a how-to tech article.
