Just Confused as Hell

[ctrcivic]

Hey guys had to replace the block on my wifes car.....before I removed the head I made sure the Crank was at TDC and the camgear siting pretty at its TDC as well...got it all put back together with the new block and I noticed. Every other TDC on the Crank the cam is at BDC not TDC....why is this...tried to understand it myself...but it is late and I haven't been hard in the hondas is a couple years so I'm rusty...just want to make sure that the cam timing isn't like 180 degrees off.....if that is possible...

Thanks guys

Combustion stroke and Intake/fresh air stroke....so the piston needs to be at TDC 2 times per cycle.....and since the distributor can only go in one way with the notches it decides which stroke is which. Think I just answered my own question ...but to be safe someone give me the thumbs up or tell me I'm wrong before I fire up the motor tomorrow lol..
