Dear Texas, your camera work was beautiful, I have no idea how you made it so clear, I would say that out of all the videos on timing the Civic yours was spot on. I am always impressed with people that are willing to take their time off a busy life to try and help people to be able to do their own maintenance and not pay the big bucks to someone else to do the job. I notice that most people that are showing how to do this timing on the Honda, have most of the instructions spot on but I have yet seen any to get one detail exactly right, they are always very close but are not spot on. When I am doing something I want it to be perfect. Here is where most people do not get it quite right. If just looking to line up with only the v-notch with the red mark then it depends on what angle you are looking through that notch to make it accurate, this is the reason they put also a pointer below that v-notch. So, the way to do timing accurately, we align the v-notch with the pointer then the pointer at the red mark. I hope this will help the perfectionist. I think I will put this information on the other KZread video that I see, to help other perfectionist.

Thank you! Kudos, this is about the clearest video showing in real time, slow motion and frozen frame on exactly how to ID the timing mark. Great explanation also on the variable timing dial selection (0 vs 16). Sincerely

Best video I’ve seen on how to do this.. thanks

Dude, man. Thank you beyond words. By far the most precise instructions I have seen. And I'm unfortunately somewhat of an expert on timing videos. Thank you. Thank you. Really.

Thanks for explaining this! Helped to understand what to look for when setting to 0 on the gun then setting to 16. Much appreciated!

Good vid James. I been wanting to know about this. Keep up coming bro

Pretty good video. Quick and to the point

Thanks man i try to not mess around in the videos.

Thank you bro I finally understand how to do this

Great video was subbed to other channel didnt know you have 2 till watched last video

Big help thank you!

Awesome tip

Should you be looking directly straight down over the timing mark or angle doesn’t matter?

So when you set the gun at 16* you should see the tdc mark lining up with the v on the cover ?

wow so helpful!

so when i adjust the distributor back and forth? which mark am i moving on the pulley?

If you allow me I would also add that you can mark the pulley with a little white or red paint and you can see it easier. Thanks the video.

what do people do about ignition timing on modern cars without a distributor ?

engine has to be off whe adjusting distributor?

Thank you

D16Y7, D16Y8 OBD2A OBD2B, ARE ALL 12 DEGREES BASE TIMING.....REGARDLESS IF YOU USE P28 OBD1 ECU, THE MECHANICAL CAM GEAR AND THE MARKS ON THE BALANCER ARE SETUP FOR 12 DEGREES....RESEARCH IT....

any idea how many degrees it adds to the timing map once the distributor is turned to maximum advance ?

put 180° advance so u make negative horsepower

On the s300 hondata. Before start adjusting the timing do I still need to jump the service plug together like on stock ecu?

You set it at 16 degrees in hondata and sync it with the timing light

Hi. I rebuilt a d15z6 85mm stroke and 137mm rods.stock. i buy pm6 pistons 75.5 and shorter rods 134mm. Pm6 piston are taller 3mm instead p2j stock ho da piston...

Scs connector does not lock timing

where do i get that software? is it compatible with obd1?

What software

My question is... stock timing is 12deg... now on this motor when timing is on 12 car runs weak and hot... if i advance to 16deg... it runs way better. Shorter rod ratios means need to advance timing? Should i advance even more timing untill knocks? My distributor is close to full advanced... help!

I always prefer to run 16 degrees on my d series builds but each tuner will have a different preference. not sure on all the other stuff I just know how it likes to run and 16degrees at idle is ideal for me built bottom end or not.

Okay... so 16° is the single white one right? And having it at 0° should be the red middle one with the 2 Mark's on either side correct? I always get these kinda things confused.

On a variable speed when set to 0 it should line up with the middle mark which is 16 degrees with it set on 16 on the gun it should line up with the white mark. Since most channels won't mention it. If you set the gun to 12 degrees it should still line up with the white mark if the ignition timing on the car is adjusted to 12. and if you set it to 10degrees using the distributor it should line up with the white single mark if set to 10 on the gun.. Hope that makes sense.. Basically that single mark is your point of reference to your timing on a variable speed timing light. On a timing light with no dial it would be your middle mark.

What if I have a automatic and no Hondata?

2 years ago, but put a paper clip or the like in the 2 terminals of scs connector, engine in park, full operating temp, idle at spec, and proceed to set timing as video showed. I think the red line on harmonic balancer is 12 deg. BTDC. White line is TDC.
