I'm having problems setting the timing on my Integra. When I use a timing light to adjust the distibutor, I can't rotate the dizzy far enough back to get the timing at 16 degrees on the crank markings. It's actually not even close! The crank and cams are set correctly and the jumper is connected while I adjust the dizzy. Also base timing is set to 16 degrees in my S300. I feel that this is killing my power! I only made 360whp on 20psi with a T60-1 turbo. Anyone know how I can fix this?

 

Check ur crank pulley. it probably spun. this happened to me this past week. i couldnt adjust the timing and the outer ring on the crank pulley spun on the rubber part.

 

What rubber part are you talking about? Isn't the crank pulley one solid piece?

 

nope. there is a rubber that seperate the power steering pulley and alternator/ac pulleys. unless you have an aftermarket pulley

 

Some are. Some have the rubber ring that Bryse is referring to. The ones with the rubber most often go bad when someone uses a torch to heat and loosen the pulley bolt. It ends up melting the rubber. Did this myself once, I'm sorry to say. Aside from checking the pulley for damage, you can make sure of its position by loosening the bolt, line up the TDC mark on the pulley with the notch on the timing cover, remove the pulley and then see if the crank timing gear is pointed at the TDC notch on the oil pump housing.
