Well I finally built my engine and a am getting very impressed with how this new engine is starting to perform. Fisrt of all the cool stuff:
d16a6 block bored .010 over
d16y5 vtec head ported and polished and port matched for the new manufold that I havent built yet
KMS block guard
eagle connection rods
custom ARP main studs
custom ARP head studs
polished crank
p29 pistons (11.5-1)
4-2-1 header
2.5" exhaust
accel 8.0mm wires
solid front and rear motor mounts
0-60 mph time so far is 6 seconds
here are some pictures of the engine and build
now for the question on the distributor i had to notch the nounting holes to get it to time right. I have heard of this before but never paid attention to the cure for this and now i have the some problem. This will only matter for a little bit because i am thinking of going motec4.
Any help would be appreciatted.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/Verv/Picture180.jpg

the problem that i am having is that i have had to notch the adjusting bollt holes all the way out just so i can get it into time and it seems that it might be setting the injector timing off. My question is this: is there a way to reset the ignition timing in the computer. I cant move the distributor any further because it wont be able to be bolted up. when i took my car to the track i even saw the same thing done to a lot of hondas there. i am thinking that i still need to retard the timing more but obviously i cant.

Sure your valve timing is right? You shouldnt have move the distributor that much to get it to run good.

I like it. If your cam timing is set right then you shouldn't have to go nuts trying to get your dizzy timing right. And yes you can mount it with just 2 of the 3 bolts on a vtec head.

Just a little..he he...nah! I used to be a domestic guy..laughed at all the little civics and thought they were gutless little things...til I actually drove one. Now I own one and laugh at all the domestics with big, underpowered engines that burn way too much fuel:nono:

I still need some help with the distributor timing. it wont be long before i switch over to haltech or motec or the likewise. I am also wondering if there is a way to reset the timing in the computer.

Listen here you little noob fucker, I dont know where you begin to think that anyone is going to put up with your bullshit for more than one post, find another forum. You ask for help and then insult those who even reply, for which by the way, your lucky ANYONE replied.
