Why does the #1 cylinder have to be at top dead center when you put on the new belt? And how do you tighten the timming belt correctly?

Crap, Kingwilly might be right, it might have been the timming belt sliping. I don't get it though, I tourqed that SOB good. The little marks I made on the sproket and on the timming belt are not aligned any more. I turned the engine off as soon as it started to make that slipping noise then I...

Nah, If the timing belt sliped it would have smashed my pistons, I was wondering if it possible to but the timming belt on too tight? I also noticed the the Idle was A bit high. If I installed the ALT. pully too loose would it cause the engine to increase the Iidle? It's a 90 civic HB.

This was the first time I ever changed the timming belt on my car. When I turned on the car It was runing very noisy like the way air conditioners sound with that slight squeal, kinda Like a super charger. Then is got real noisy with a very fast chirping or belt sliping noise. I Gotta start...

I just looked at the refrence chart and I noticed that one ZC has 137hp and another has 119. If I have to import the engine from Japan how will I know what I'm getting? I mean I want the DOHC with 137 or 129 Hp not some 119hp engine. I really don't want to be ripped off. What can you do to make...

Is it really bolt on for my 90 H.B? Stock mount, tranny? I know about the dual point and multi. port.

It's there to shut off the nitrous when the fuel pressure drops to low. Um, at least thats what I've read, I've never even seen one. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I'm sorry if I'm wrong but I think you tap it in to the fuel rail?

I'm not sure about the intake blow-by but piston blow by I can help with . If you know just a bit about cars you might know about the four stroke cycle. ( I hope). They are inatke, compresion, power, and exhaust. Basicly, the piston rings are there to hold compression during the compression...

Ha, that's funny.

Well, sometimes we all put our hand up there but do we lean all the way back? 'till you have to tilt your head back in an attempt to see whats ahead?

I’m pissed and I’ve got to vent a bit. I was getting out of the parking lot in my school one day. There was a long line to get out of the parking lot. I had been in line for almost thirty minutes and was almost out when this white civic shows up out of nowhere and tries to pull in front of...

I'm out in a week also. Good thing because I hate high school. I'm going to UTEP (University of Texas at El Paso) to study Engineering in the fall. I'ts one of the top ten engineering schools in the country.

Is it safe? (Sorry about the spelling.)

Sounds like a stong little engine can you find parts for them here in the U.S?
