Got a valve timing question...

In the online shop manual, it shows a star shaped edge that you point the cam gears towards, unfortunately my friends DOHC doesn't have that star pattern, so my question is the lines in the cams with the I and E next to them, when faced in the proper direction the lines directly above the I and E on ...

:: cries :: My transmission blew up!?! HELP PLEASE!!!

Alright, riding out to Mcdonalds one night, and I went to cross traffic, and the car wheel hopped REALLY BAD. about 10miles down the road, it started jerking and making a clunk sound, and then I noticed the CV joint was locking up and moving up and down. So I got the car home by doing 20mph ...

BUMP!

I don't think the DOHC exhaus ports are even close to the same alignment as the SOHC, so I don't think the probe 2.0 header will work for the SOHC, but I could definitely be wrong.

Help anyone?

B6-ME... Headers' ?!

Does anyone know of a company that makes a header for the SOHC 1.6? I know Corksport has the genie header, but I asked them about it and all they said was that they've never tested it because it's not their part.. but from the looks of it, it looks kind of shabby. :/ Well at least not worth that ...

I don't think the people that dyno'd your car did so correctly... Cause I mean, a 95 honda civic dynos at about 97 whp... which is only a few horses less than what the factory rates the bhp, and I notice that the graph doesn't start till 3500 rpm? and it ends at 6100rpm? Should start at 2k or ...

I pulled my cel codes and got a code 34... ISC... = Idle Speed Control or in more common terms, Idle Air control. I remembered then that I had my ISC unplugged because it is broken and so I plugged it back in and for some reason the car didn't die at idle! So pleased, I took the car for a spin and ...

I was reading through a CEL code pdf and it said that in limp home mode the computer pretends like it's running at 67 degrees and runs air/fuel compliant with that, which seems to be like what my car is doing, but I don't have a light. Also I agree with the intake, it did shift the power band ...
