Honda cam degree tutorial.. B,H,D engines

Showing how to degree cams in honda engines.. Make sure to lock vtec before degreen the cams on motors with VTEC.

[@onefastegcoupe]

I subscribe and watched several videos already. Very nice boost , turbo LS civic content. Love it. Seems more home based and garage built but with quality parts showing we enthusiasts can build a engine just as well at our own home than a machine shop or Engine shop can do it. Its all about trial and error learning process and having patience.

[@civicpride1986]

Lightning Autowerks™ thanks, yes everything was build at home in the garage with basic home tools.. the only thing i haven't done is the tuning part and i also want to learn that..

[@Jdmlogics]

Awesome content sir. I built a my b20v definitely a lot of numbers involved.

[@civicpride1986]

Thanks and yes definitely a lot of fun work involved in making engines make good power..

[@javion43]

Wow super helpful... just subscribed! Thanks alot.

[@cadebrown3069]

if you didnt set the valve lash to 0 first that could be why you have an off degree measurement

[@civichatchback]

I think i got it but what was your final lobe separation angle? Was it the 103.5 plus the 2.5 difference in the cams?

[@ricardosalgado1634]

hello good morning, i'm from portugal and i don't understand english very well, i have some doubts, first we have to set the pressure gauges to position 0?

[@jaydwash]

My degree kit came with “checking springs” did you have to use these??

[@Dense147]

You take out your high pressure springs and use those so you arent fighting the springs as the cam goes around

[@slumpedmage]

What paint did you use for the block? Did it hold up?

[@civicpride1986]

Autozone VHT high temp paint and yes so far holding up, this is a friend engine.

[@slumpedmage]

@@civicpride1986 Nice. Thanks man

[@sbfhawk4343]

Man I am having some issues with my engine. I have the Skunk 2 pro cams with the head work done for the bottom B16B and i do not know how to degree my cams I need to look for a shop that can do this for me seems quite complex.

[@civicpride1986]

Seems harder then it is at first but the overall concept is not that hard.. hopefully you get it figured out and engine runs strong.

[@sbfhawk4343]

@@civicpride1986 Thank You same to you.

[@mikaelgaiason688]

Not sure why youtube is suggesting these videos... This isn't how it's done. Best way to learn is to have somebody who knows what they're doing (professionally trained, certified, and gets paid to do it every day) adjust everything out of whack and then you fix it and they check. Do that a few times and you'll get it down. With the engine on a stand and all the tools handy and laid out it shouldn't take you more than a quarter hour. Always go off cyl 1. If the tool won't fit it's either the wrong tool or operator error.

[@civicpride1986]

No one said we where professionals and getting paid to do it.. this was a learning process for us also.. don't like it don't watch it as simple as that.. not everyone has money for everything to get done professionally..

[@mikaelgaiason688]

@@civicpride1986 No one said you said you were professionals. I didn't watch it after the first minute or so. You shouldn't be so sensitive if you're going to put videos online. All I did was point out you were in the process of learning yourself. You admit to the same thing. If you don't like reading that, don't read it. Right? I wouldn't suggest people take things to shops. Way too expensive, and most shops employ a lot of entry level techs that don't know more than someone at your level. People don't have a choice if they bite off more than they can chew after watching a half informed video or reading a forum post about a friend of a friends car though. Probably 10% of my jobs are people bringing in basket cases and trying to figure out how they're going to pay for the massive bill. Every single time they have a video or post that fucked them. You want to tear engines apart? Hell yeah, go for it. I fully support that. You can't teach what you don't know though, and videos like these do absolutely no good (hmmm, maybe read the confused comments). They can cause a lot of harm though. Take responsibility like a man. You made the shit video, not me. Own up to it instead of making excuses like a kid. Or don't, no skin off my back.

[@civicpride1986]

@@mikaelgaiason688 sounds to me like you need to make a video and show everyone the correct way of doing this..

[@mikaelgaiason688]

@@civicpride1986 lmao why? It's all written down in plain English in the FSM. If you want to figure out how to do it learn to read. It's not my responsibility to hold your hand.

@@mikaelgaiason688 typical 5 year old response from someone that has not one video uploaded, but feels is an expert.. if this video helps out only 1 person to degree their cams I am happy that's the purpose of it.. I don't get paid to do this so I could careless what u think.

[@vtecsk8r]

And where did the kit come from

[@civicpride1986]

Camdeegree.com sells the kit

[@ricksnags-3343]

you have any place where i can hyu?

[@civicpride1986]

Sorry for the late reply, but here is the best place to get in touch with me..

[@ShelbysGT]

Hey man I got some questions for you. I’m setting up a built B18C turbo motor. Any chance you could PM me and I’ll give you contact info ? It be easier to to talk

[@luiscalojr9143]

You correcting your self so much that it’s just confusing me. I would just rather pay some one who is sure of what they are doing sorry but in my own opinion you don’t sound so confident

[@vtecsk8r]

I like this video but I would have really liked to see a lsvtec that has the timing half a tooth off and then degree it to correct it lol

[@jimhiscott2918]

I have never understood why this is done this way. I set my cam gears to 0 degrees, set the cam platform, put number one on TDC and put my timing belt on. Send the entire package to the dyno and done. I have never had an issue. I'm just saying.

[@civicpride1986]

Is not about having issues, this is mainly done to be able to make the most horsepower for the cams possible, not much but doing this can gain an extra 5-10whp depending on the set up..

[@jimhiscott2918]

@@civicpride1986 I must look into this further then. I possibly have been missing out do to being in a hurry

[@Drifter212]

@@civicpride1986 what's "whp?"

[@061686]

I don’t mean to talk crap or bash your video, but it’s super confusing.

[@civicpride1986]

HoDaSpaniard I agree it is confusing.. we where also learning how to do it..

[@061686]

I’m gonna go ahead and subscribe to your channel. I have to do this myself very soon. It would be awesome if you guys post up another video breaking down things a little bit clearer. Props for putting up a video of doing something new for the very first time though that takes guts haha.

[@civicpride1986]

HoDaSpaniard I might have to do that again on another engine and explain better..

[@143MYVTECEF]

Yeah using the lift at 0.050" is a super confusing way of doing it. Next time after finding tdc just go to the centerlines of the cams on the degree wheel and use your cam gears to find the peak lift. Once that's found lock down the cam gears and your done!

[@mikaelgaiason688]

That's because he doesn't know how to do it. It's hard to explain something you don't understand.

[@mickeymouse4897]

I only watched the first few minutes & that was enough ..... Why don't KZbinrs actually learn how to do a technical process correctly first before doing a video on it .... YOU CANNOT FIND TRUE TDC WITH A DIAL GAUGE >>> IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

[@funpeoplearoundtheworld7027]

because when the piston changes direction the wristpin/bearing would have some slack in it and throw the reading off.... BUT NOT BY MUCH, so stop beating him up on it :-)
