- Tue Aug 21, 2007 11:37 pm #20690 i had the timing redone(original person set it to the red mark :thumbdown: )

was reset to the white make and still nothing but goes out to 6200 and i was told to go back to non synthetic oil and use 10w-30 to clean things up and change the oil again after 500 b/c my oil gets dirty right away after being changed

the motor/car was sitting for 1.5 years and probably didnt have the oil changed so it probably sludged up and clogged the squirters and passaged to VTEC

so im going to change oil add some ATF 1qt and change again after 300 miles
and also replace the VTEC solenoid

what do you guy think on this

The white mark is 0? TDC, I'd imagine it runs worse now :?


runs better now and was done by a honda/acura only shop locally

pulls alot harder to the incorrect rev limit now

also so i dont doubt them at all since they build race engines and such

but the red mark is for ignition timing i think
