Took the valve cover and timing belt front cover off. Got the UP and two other timing marks positioned correctly and noticed the white timing mark on the crankshaft pulley was off by 18 degrees. Apparently what happened is the friend who did the timing work lined up the red (ignition) timing mark (3 little lines with the middle one red) as the TDC mark.
Later I learned from
On some Honda four-cylinders, you may find two different timing marks. A white mark may be used to indicate Top Dead Center (TDC) and a red mark for ignition timing. If you use the red mark instead of the white one, valve timing will be off as much as 18 degrees.
That's exactly what has happened. How many teeth adjustment of the cam timing sprocket is needed to correct a 18 degree mistake?
Thanks.
