- Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:24 am #262775 I recently did a valve clearance on my my civic. I have a 1995 civic eg. Stock 1.5 Non-Vtec D15B

While I was doing it I noticed something weird. When the cam was pointing straight up indicating cylinder 1, at TDC on the compression stroke the Number one valve was not completely at rest I had to rotate it a bit further for it to be at rest

What does this mean:?

Timing is off? Nothing? lol Or something else.

And consequently each consecutive valve seemed to be a bit off too. Im just starting so Im a noob. Lol

Any advice is appreciated.
