No Power After Head Swap

Luckily Honda made is so you can only install the distributor one way as the keyway is offset by a bit, so unless your pouring oil from that area I'd say it's installed correctly. I'm telling you take your timing belt off set cam tdc then just to be ppositive remove the crank pulley bolt and take notice as to where the keyway is oriented it should be straight up just like ur cam, as for the balance shafts just leave the belt off, 10 lbs of pointless metel not needing to rotate and the cunthair more of vibration u will get isn't much.

Another question is your map and tps plugged in correctly?

[danf20bcb7]

just seen your vid, something is 100 percent outta time, sounds like a plug wire is switched. go over the whole timing system. somethings not right. i can tell that sound anytime

There are 2 diff people who had close to the same issue. I was referring to the original persons post not the second.

It will go in 180' off very easy. Then when you crank it over it brakes one of the teeth off the distributor because the slight offset. I have done this 3 or 4 times.

U must've forced it, it's so simple just take the cap off and align the key as best possible then as your pushing it in spin the rotor slightly back and forth. Dont mean to sound like a dick but it's almost fool proof it only slides all the way in nicely even with a new o ring. If u have to force it and or draw it in with the 12 mms then it's wrong, simply look at it, the offset is noticeable on both the distributor and cam. It's like putting the ignition key from a chevy in the trunk yeah it sorta fits but won't work that's why they made a trunk/door key. Actually it just took them forever to grasp a "single" key concept.

You dont even have to really push it in it will slide it 180 off.

U must have one very devirginized cam or distributor

I have done it on 3 of my cb7's so I guess they are all loose hoes.

[thepowderblue]

What do you mean the wrong timing marks?
