Ok the other day when I was trying to jump start my other car my integra (91-wb16) cut off on me. Looked the car over and discovered that the cam timing was off a finger or 2. My Timing belt was loose when I first bought the car a week ago. So i towed it to my moms to reset the timing, something ive never done before.
now to the confusing part....I looked over my haynes manual step by step to re-adjust my timing. Cleared the whole side of the driver side away and removed the valve cover. Turned the crankshaft so that #1 is at tdc. Took the distr. cap off and its pointing toward wire #1. but what i was confused about was how do i go about lining the cam marks up. I understand that the up marks point up and that the 2 little timing marks on each cam line up but how do i rotate it without the distributor moving. I know this is prbably a stupid question but i wanted to get it straight before i mess something up. Do each cam individually move?? I have not yet removed the belt also
thanx

take you timing belt off and adjust each cam, and yes the dizzy rotor will move if you adjust the intake cam, thats normal
