you need to set 30 degrees for the exhaust fan to melt and yeah. drink your milk GAMERS
It would be best to have this conversation with the person that installed the cam. The general rule of thumb that applies to any cam in any car is to set the intake valve rocker when the exhaust valve just starts to open, and set the exhaust valve rocker after the intake starts to close. You would need the cam card to determine the amount of backlash or preload.
the exhaust cam should be lined up 9 o clock position and the intake cam is lined at the 3 o clock position you pretty much have to get the align tool or otherwise a screwdriver in exhaust cam since it doesn't stay still
If it is a solid lift cam, Then the valve specs will be written on the cam card that came with the cam. If it is a hydraulic lifter cam shaft then you adjust the valves like any other camshaft.
10-12 degrees
Rotate the crank pulley at the bottom of the engine until the dimple is at top dead center. Use a second socket set to rotate the intake and exhaust cam sprockets so that the "I" (intake) is at the top dead center on the intake cam, and "E" (Exhaust) is at the top dead center of the exhaust cam. Place the timing belt on the engine. You may need a tool or helper to keep the crank pulley in place while you apply the timing belt. Test your placement by rotating the crank pulley two full rotations. Verify that the intake and exhaust cams return to the original positions - I and E at the top of the cam gears.
Timing on a single-cam 1998 Honda Civic is marked on the cam shaft. The distributor will also need to be set of the appropriate degrees.
No, it is set using a scan tool and set to plus or minus 2 degrees of 0 watching the cam retard.
The distributor is set to 0 degrees with a scan tool. It can not be done with a timing light.
MOST STOCK CAMS DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO CAM "DEGREEING" WHEN INSTALLED, SO THE INITIAL TIMING MUST BE DONE WITH A TIMING GUN. ADJUST THE TIMING BY ROTATING THE DISTRIBUTER IN EITHER DIRECTING UNTIL THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF ADVANCE OR RETARD IS ACHIEVED. SOME AFTERMARKET CAMS HAVE SEPERATE KEYWAYS SO YOU CAN ADVANCE OR RETARD THE TIMING BY A FEW DEGREES WHEN YOU INSTALL THE CAM. A GOOD START FOR YOUR ENGINE WOULD BE 8 TO 14 DEGREES OF INITIAL ADVANCE.
first you must set your crank shaft at TDC top dead center #1 & #4 pistons must be up. second install the head bolt it down and torque at 25" lbs. third install intake cam, set the knock pin in between 9 & 10 o'clock that 80 degrees to the left from 12 0'clock. next is the exhaust cam set the knock pin at 10 to 45 degrees to the left from 12 o'clock. now you can install your timing belt.
the timing adjustment is computer controlled, it can be adjusted, but has to be done using a scanner. set the scanner to data screen, and check the cam timing retard degrees. This need sto be set at 0 degrees, + or - 2 degrees. usually vehicle will backfire if there is a problem
If it's the same as the 96 1.5l twin cam. Put the engine on tdc for no1 cyl. Cam sprocket marks on mine are set level to the top of the head, each pointing to the outside of the motor ie at 180 degrees apart. This should give you valves shut on cyl 1- end of compression/firing, and no 4 cyl with inlet and exhaust barely open ie changing over from end of exhaust stroke to start of inlet stroke. (Also referred to as "rocking") If the belt has been broken it is probably worth making sure that the valves are not bent.
