i removed my chain guides because they were really worn and starting to become a problem. went to put back everything together and it wont start. i marked the dist. rotor so i knew where it was when i pulled it and lined that up fine. and set her at tdc. cranks and almost starts sometimes but doesnt. im getting gas cuz i can smell it out my exhaust. wtf!!!

i did a headgasket on a honda last week, I had no clue how to set the timing and couldnt find any info in the honda nutswingers site. i guessed and got it right the first time. I am that good. also thanks for whoring my FS thread.
