low compression on 2 cyclenders ALT ANSWER: You have two cylinders swaped on the cap. I did it to mine. Try swaping 1 & 3.
2003 and up Honda 4 cylinders have a timing chain, and the V6 has a timing belt that must be replaced at 110,000 miles.
cylinder number one is the one closest to the timing belt.from the timing belt to the distributor side the cylinders go in the following order.1234

To adjust the timing on a 22RE 86 EFI 4-cylinder engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and that the timing light is connected correctly. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover, then use a timing light to check the current timing against the specified timing setting (typically around 5 degrees BTDC for this engine). If adjustments are needed, loosen the distributor hold-down bolt and rotate the distributor slightly until the timing light indicates the desired timing, then retighten the bolt to secure the distributor. Always recheck the timing after making adjustments to ensure accuracy.
This is like asking "when should I have the cylinders reground or the oil pump replaced. A timing chain is not like a timing belt in that it is not subject to 80,000 mile replacement. So, keep your oil changed every 3000 miles and drive on.Good luck !!!
Only the 4 cylinders have a belt. The belt should be replaced at 60,000 miles.
A VG30DE is a Dual Overhead Cam engine (DOHC) with individual ignition coil and use a timing chain ...while VG30E is a Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) with spark plug wires and use timing belt...
It depends on the motor..if you have overhead cam...then YES. The timing belt has to be removed when the water pump is changed and the cam sprockets have to be set to correct timing when the belt is replaced.
Adjusting the distributor sets the ignition timing. To set timing you need to align the timing marks as specified by the manufacture using a timing light.
In a four-stroke overhead-cam engine, the timing chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft. The camshaft opens and closes the valves in the cylinders and turns at half the speed of the crankshaft. Many engines now have a cog-belt instead of a chain.
You can't set the timing but you can either advance or retard it from the distributor.
All 4 cylinders have a timing chain that requires no maintenance. The V6 has a timing belt that must be replaced at 90,000 miles. This engine is an interference engine, and as such if the belt breaks, serious engine damage will occur.
