It is funny... this write-up has been used for years now all over the internet. People use the same parts listed without issue, except that the timing belt takes a little bit of effort to put on. I do quite a few conversions and I guess I have developed a really easy way to get the belt on and lined up. Your mechanic should have double checked the alignment before calling it finished.
Scott, This is Justin. I felt determined that I was one tooth off on the crank pulley. So I attempted to correct this timing belt issue, due to the motor not continually running. I finished everything up on Sunday, and cranked her over and wallah, BEAUTIFUL. She ran for ten minutes and cycled through cooling fan operation. The only little probelm that remains is the check engine light now kicks on after running for a minute or so? I guess this could be due to a temporally p14 ECU, and right now the exhaust runs right out of the header. Where can I find a 93' prelude check engine service connector?
To finish things up all we have to do is shoot the timing light to adjust the proper ignition timing. I'm assuming this should be set to 15 deg. +/-2 deg. This is a little different than my b series. Do I shoot the light on the little window on the block that displays the mark that is on the flywheel? Is it done this way because the crank pulley doesn't display any identification marks?
Thanks for the intake manifold and all your helpful tech support!
