How to Time any D-Series Honda engine

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I show how to mechanically time any D series engine (as well as show the different timing marks) and time the ignition with a timing light!
I had to time my winter beater so I figured I’d make a video about it as it’s hard to search for information on timing a B7 unless you have the Helms book.

    Thank you. I'm planning on buying a cheap old timing light to use on my cars and every video I've seen uses a fancy adjustable light procedure. I just needed a video showing a normal procedure with a cheap timing light and this video was exactly that.

    I changed my belt and my timing marks line up at tdc but i didnt adjust the ignition timing afterward since it was never mentioned in anything i read or any videos i watched, would that cause a misfire once it starts to warm up?

    It sounds more like an ignition coil to me, I've had plenty of those go bad. Does it hesitate occasionally when load is put on the engine?

    Turns over, but doesn't start? Yes its possible, especially if it's been messed with, but it would still usually spit and sputter or try to start even with the wrong timing. If it isn't attempting to start at all go back to the basics first, make sure its getting spark, and fuel.
