i do it the easy way and use adjustable wrenches on the cams.. J/k

I used drill bits also lol

haha that way is sooooo much more fun.......not lol... This was def good info. timing the motor was prob the hardest part of it all... Not any more!

You can make your own tools with some 5mm metal or plastic rod.

Then you have something wrong with your setup.

With the motor at TDC, and everything properly timed, the holes will line up perfectly through the #5 cam tower.

I can get the cam gears to line up perfect an the bottom end all the timing marks line up just not the were the Honda tool goes one of the holes lines up an the other doesn't

Picture?

What cams?

Don't blame the tool...something is wrong with the setup.

 

[91sir]

ok well im not blaming anyone I was asking but I was told today to check if my vtc or vtm cam was in the lock or unlock position

 

[91sir]

anyone with any idea's
here I posted pics

 

[brakaT]

In for this, mine is the same as posted above

Have you guys checked your intake cam gear yet? It seems like it has not fully returned back to 0º based on the pictures posted.

What cams are they?

 

[brakaT]

What has me confused is that my cam gears line up perfectly like the pics above (TDC) but the intake cam is slightly off in the hole for the pulse plate. My exhaust cam appears to be dead on though, tomorrow I'll try it with a 3/16 drill bit to confirm.

Mine are Drag Cartel 3.2

Did you have this issue when you used OEM cams?

If you have the same issue with a stock intake cam, then it's your intake cam gear. If you don't have the issue with a stock intake cam, then it's the centerline of your DC cam. I'd call Drag Cartel at that point and see what they say.

Never had stock cams in it, IIRC the RBB VTC gear was brand new from honda. Maybe it needs to be rotated more to make everything line up? Hopefully I get some time tomorrow.

Before the motor starts, both the VTC gears have to line up at TDC and the pulse plates have to line up as well?
