Yes, watching the video again, this 90 degrees looks good. The intake valves of the 1st cylinder just have to start opening around tdc when the 1st piston is up again.

 

So do i degree them retard 90 or advance. I think its advance. Be super help*** if anyone had pics of there cams and everything timed! If there 90° after the exhaust id have to advance them

 

picture is what im gonna do to the intake cam gear internals. Showing where the cam lobe is and where it will be once i advance 90°. I also show the inside mivec wheel placements and where they will be . Hoping this is the correct way. Lobe* lol did this on my ten.

 

Ok that makes sense now. Cause i kept staring at the intake cam and while it look off it didnt look 180 out but it looked off. Also when you prime the oil pump try this. Instead of cranking the motor too prime it. Remove the timing belt and take an drill and put a 14mm socket on the bolt and spin the oil pump until you see a steady stream of oil coming out of the lifters. It may take a few minutes before the oil is fully threw the system. Make sure its a drill and not an impact. The impact where they hammer can break the teeth off the oil pump gears.

At this point im thinking we are on the right track. Looking at the back of that mod it looks to me you aligned the cam in the wrong dowel and that is why your intake timing is off.

 

Yesir and not my pics butya

 

started right up!!!!

 

Great to see there weren't any damaged valves and the compression is fine

 

So the problem was that the mivec cam gear was put back together incorrectly?

 

WOOHOO!!!!! Congrats on getting it all sorted out!

 

Yesir

 

i told you something was not right with that timing you were explaining...
LOL...

that makes sense... and glad you got it fixed.

 

I have a 2.4 mivec using my 9 tbelt and a hks exhaust camshaft and hks exhaust cam gear. could you tell me what my marks should be? I havent installed my motor but I will this weekend. As of rite now all of my timing marks are dead on. what should I do to make things correct?

 

Ams has a reslly good right up on it. Aswell as others

 

Theres thread in here from like a week or two ago where I posted pics. Do a quick search.

 

i went through all the threads and the more I read, the more confused I get. I looked at the photos on this thread and I see that he has his mivec gear to the right of the vc mark. and he is using the 64 tbelt. mines is right on the mark and im using the 63 tbelt. I put enough tension on the tensioner so that even after a bunch of revolutions, I could still insert the grenade pin with ease. I really hope I am doing this correctly.
