    Well, my poor Prelude seems to have finally given up the ghost. Around 1000 miles after a timing job, the car shut off at a light and hasn't restarted since. Pulled timing covers to find everything intact EXCEPT The exhaust cam has skipped approximately 5 teeth to the left, and shows signs of...

    I replaced my head gasket on my b20a5, and when I took it apart I make sure the cam gears were pointing up, then proceeded with the tare down. After I was done cleaning the block and got the head redone I noticed the cylinder wasn't at TDC so I rotated the crank till cylinder #1 was at the top...

    I bought the felpro head gasket kit, it included all related gaskets like intake/exhaust manifolds, couple for throttle and idle, coolant stuff, everything really. And so I did it all, according to the service manual, down to the letter, even the torque spec of every single nut and bolt. I...

    Hi, I've searched all over the forums, but I can't seem to find an answer. All the writeups / tutorials that include replacing the valve seals also tend to replace the belt. Mine's only about 40k kms old, and I really don't want to spend all day taking it off. Is it possible to loosen it enough...

    So I'm very close to breaking in my engine, but I'm stuck because I can't get to 15 BTDC on the flywheel. I can just get past the white TDC mark, maybe plus 5? I'm using a B18A1 intake camshaft, would this have anything to do with it? I'm also using a Acura Vigor TB (which isn't actually...

    I recently changed the timing belt on my 89 Lude, now when I rev the engine I can see the timing belt rattling back and forth causing my noise. Should I replace the tensioner as well or is there a trick to getting that little extra belt tension?

    Hey guys, i have a 93 prelude with an h23 block w/o vtec. The guy i bought it from also gave me an h22 vtec head. I am encountering problems with the timing belts because the vtec head is a half inch thicker than the original h23 one. I have tried installing the regular sprockets and timing belt...

    Is it true that if your timing is all out of whack, that simply rotating the distributor on a 5th Gen Lude will not adjust the timing? Does the ECU auto-correct the timing to what it "thinks" is correct? I have seen the flow-chart for the Honda Maintenance Manual that says if you measure the...
