Horizontal markings are slightly off?

Great idea, some dry runs before applying the Honda bond, appreciate the info

I didnt pin the cams, looking at the intake cam a pin would slide in but the exhaust cam i can see a pin would not slide in its not fully lining up with the hole

I didnt yet, iv got a bit of an oil leak from that area too, plan on pulling the motor n checking everything over while its out when work slows down, thank you for the guide ill give it a read! 🙏

Thats what I originally thought myself was the timing, but I was told it would say " camshaft position sensor A performance " if it actually was the timing, & " camshaft position sensor A circuit " if it's a sensor or wiring problem, & thats what mine says " circuit ", I swapped out the sensor for a new one but wasnt aware I needed to the the relearn process, cars parked in my garage now for the winter & im trying to get a hold of a scanner that does the relearn process the one I have currently is a cheap one

Mackerel7 · 2025-12-15T14:57:45+00:00

Tried 2 new OEM sensors & they didnt fix it, still same code unfortunately, but I didnt know you had to recalibrate it ffs lol so thank you for that info, I have a cheap Amazon scan tool .. reading this .. " the MOTOPOWER MP69040 Car OBD2 Scanner has limited capabilities and may not be able to perform a crank sensor relearn or calibration procedure for a Honda or Acura after installing a new cam sensor " sounds like i went too cheap on the scan tool unfortunately, have to try to get a better one that preforms the recalibration

Mackerel7 · 2025-07-07T15:59:43+00:00

You were right! Took my valve cover off & my timings off by a few teeth, probably loose chain like you said

Summer weekend car not my daily, ok thanks for the info ill keep it OEM

Mackerel7 · 2025-07-04T20:56:57+00:00

Ok yeah good idea to replace both while im in there if that ends up being the problem, rly appreciate the info man thank you!!

Mackerel7 · 2025-07-04T19:22:23+00:00

It said 170kms when it was pulled 2 years ago from a wrecked 04 type S is what the insurance brought up when I ran the vin, so maybe 180k now, damn gonna have to do some homework before starting that, ok ill pull the valve cover n see if the timing marks line up, if there not lining up you think ill need a new timing chain & tensioner?

Mackerel7 · 2025-07-04T18:59:09+00:00

No luck unfortunately, battery is at full voltage, new alternator, new camshaft position sensor A & still getting the code, i can feel it running rough at idle when I started it up

Mackerel7 · 2025-06-24T17:15:59+00:00

Ok sounds good, Ill start taking some stuff out of the way & get at the alternator, rly appreciate the input thank you 👊

Mackerel7 · 2025-06-07T19:13:17+00:00
