Whats up everyone, I have had my b20vtec in my car for a month or so and it feels great, but my timing mark on the crank pulley is about 2-3 degrees off when I line up the timing marks for TDC. The crank pulley a first gen. b16a pulley so I thought that could have been a problem so I put on the b20 pulley and its a little better at 1-2degrees off. The motor it's self is a b16a head on a JDM b20b block with US b20 timing belt and water pump. Now I know this is not the biggest deal in the world cause 2 degrees is not really going to effect the motor but I would like to know first if anyone has had this problem and how did they fix it, what set up are they running with what t-belt w/p and crank pulley, and I would feel better if I could possibly get the timing marks right on so I know how I can adv. or retard timing. Oh ya if anyone could help and let me know which AEM cai will fit for my motor in my 93 civic b20vtec with ITR manifold? Thanks everyone

 

make sure your cams are lined up correctly. When I first put my B20VTEC in my crx I had the same problem. Turns out the intake cam was off by one tooth. Even though it looked like the cams where dead on. Take a straight edge ruler and check both the inside and outside timing marks on your cams. They should line up in a straight line with the ruler. Once you have that you should have no problem getting your belt on with the piston at TDC.
