I just suck at cars.

Fucking hondas. Had the timing belt done in just over an hour except uh... the cam timing was all fucked up *waits for mike to chime in about how I suck at timing belts*

Wouldnt even start. I was checking everything... the new cap/rotor/wires, the main relay, fuel, etc... well you need fuel, spark, and squish(face) to start an engine, right? Well I figured out I had fuel and I had spark. So I didnt have compression... sure enough, it blew 50psi on the gauge. Motherfucker. The cams were timed up, but the crank got thrown way off when I tensioned it. So, everything back apart, belt back on the way it should be in about 40 minutes and its fired up.

*waits for chan and chad to post about how 'real cars' dont have timing belts* Wink

So at least its done... new belt, tensioner/bolt/spring, water pump, fuel filter, distributor cap/rotor, plug wires and my sparco steering wheel Smile Big :thumbup: to chris for coming over and helping me out!

Yeah..... except your shit was off one tooth and sort of ran. I managed to get mine about 6-7 teeth off at the crank somehow, I still have no idea what happened - it was lined up before I tensioned the belt (coathanger). I'm just glad all my valves are in one piece.

I guess your engines are not interferance engines, hu? If I were to do that with my car I would destroy all the valves (yes all 32 of them) and the pistons probably.
