timing mark question
Hi Ed here
Setting valve clearance on 90 si1.6 according to Honda manual.
Everthing as per the manual on #1 TDC. Up mark and TDC mark aligned with pointer on cyl head cover. Rotor on #1.But the TDC mark on crank is out by about almost 3/16 of an inch. Relatively new timing belt, car runs ok. Could this be just some slop or is the belt out a tooth?. Would you just procede. I know on older vehicles with steel gears and chains that there was always some slop but i'm not sure with this.
thanks Ed.
