    The easiest is to slide the cam gear off the cam, reposition the belt and replace the gear.

    I have found and lined up the T mark on the flywheel! I removed the timing cover and this is what the cam gear looks like, I have lined it up with the cam cap groves. This is how it is without having me change anything. Dose it look straight to everyone else on the form?

    I totally agree to disagree with that!

    And I can't tell at the pic angle if the two dots are even with the top of the head but it basicly looks close.

    Cannot tell from that side. The marks are on the back of the cam gear and should line up with the edge of the cylinder head.

    The manual shows the marks in the valve adjusting section, better than it shows them in the timing belt section.

    I can clearly see the timing mark on the back of the cam gear. Dose this mean mt T belt is on correctly?

    The cam gear sitting like that with the T on the flywheel lined up with the timing mark is on correctly.

    Alright if timing is on for a face. I have a brand new Weber 32/36. What else could it be? Could the ignitor inside of the distributor cause this?

    I doubt it, can you take a nice few clean pic of your carb install? Leave the air cleaner off for the pics.

    The T will look something like this but I think the carb flywheel is a little different.

    The T on the carb flywheel is the same but the carb flywheel may have a 20 degree timing mark instead of a 15 degree timing mark.

    Also I should add its TDC on the COMPRESSION stroke,both valves closed.

    NOT the exhaust stroke where the exhaust valve is open. That would backfire a lot esp on a carb.

    Look at the valves on the #1 piston at TDC.

    Re: 86 accord wont rev up?

    Alright my timing is dead on! but I have to take the mounting bolts out of the distributor and advance all the way and then some to get it to start up. I'm thinking I may have the wrong jets in the carb. Can anyone tell me what jet's I should have in my weber 32/36 to make it run right? Has anyone ever seen a stuck intake valve on one of these 2.0L before? How do I set lash on the valves?

    I haven't seen sticky valves, but I have seen worn out cam lobes.

    My timing is dead on! Also my compression check comes back at a little over 180 per cylinder. Can I have a bent valve possibility?

    You sure the throttle is actually opening all the way, sometimes if the adapter is turned around the throttle butterflys contact the adapter and won't open or get stuck wide open.

    Yes I can open the throttle all the way and it closed all the way. My compression is 180 across the board. I just dont know what else to check
