87 accord timing issues 2.0 L 2 bbl carb

Quoted From BTmac:

Hello all.

I did a head job on my 87 Accord and after re-assembly It is misfiring, and I can’t get the timing right. Supposed to be 24 Degrees Before TDC .

The distributor will not rotate far enough to get it there . Is my distributor bad, or is the timing between the crankshaft and
cam off? . (the distributor is rotated directly by the camshaft and i did pull and plug the vacuum lines from the vacuum advance before using the timing light)
I’m not sure if the engine would even run with the timing off by 1 or 2 teeth.
and advice would be appreciated.

I would first verify that the cam and crank timing marks are lined up properly ( sounds like they might be off )

Welcome to the forums,

I would recommend posting this question in the “Service and Repair” section as this is the”How To…” area C8-)
