B16b ignition timing help!

[Chr1s]

Set that to the white mark to the pointer and take the pictures again, but by the looks of things, it looks out.

i've set the white mark on pointer

everything lines up, cam gears have marks too, they are pointing to each other and matches up to the mark on the housing

so i can rule mechanical timing out..

atm, car is set to 17degrees but it's very sluggish, maybe injectors are on the way out? fuel pump? (explains the cold starts)


and another question is, if i installed the dizzy 180 degrees wrong, car wouldnt run right? (noob question)

No cos b series dizzys have a key way design. You can't fit it wrong

[Spoon-Accord]

okay thanks for clearing that up

question: my car sounds like it's got aftermarket headers (that rain on tin roof noise) what causes that? exhaust leak?

cause pining or detonation makes a distinct rattle, but this noise go thru out rev range.. weird after this timing belt change

[mocchi]

think i've pin pointed my problem

it was the timing belt changed by some asian fob

completely off (well, its off, not HEAPS, but off)

pictures shown

tell me if the cam gears are sitting the right way also please

(explains why i'm having trouble starting it up in the morning)

where was it done?

[Spoon-Accord]

At a workshop near my place mocchi which ill keep unknown.

I'm about to remove my cat convertor off to see if that is functioning well as well
