setting up the timing is a little different and a little harder than some older cars due to electronics.. we did end up working it out though at school, and the distributer cant move any further and its supposed to be in the middle (its right against the edge of something and cant move anymore) and the timings still off..

im pretty sure the valves are ok, ive been driving it aroung for a couple of months on a daily basis as it is now.. well i hope so!!

i dont need to just set up my timing with a timing gun, i need to align the belt up properly, u would think a mechanic would do better than that, all u really gotta do is make sure all the dots are lined up together (on the belt n stuff).. we did this at school, but with extremely old shitty motors that were in pieces (old corolla engines i think.. 4A/4G motors or something like that, cant remember exactly), newer honda engines seem very complicated though.. the japs make fantastic engines though!
