So i have a b18b (95 integra ls) and my motor is currently off because i am swapping it into my ef (91 honda civic) and so i was workng on the motor and so when im bout to go to work on my timing belt i notice that my tdc doesnt match up. when i try to put the #1 piston at tdc the front header camshaft arrow is up and my exhaust intake mani camshaft arrow is facing right instead of both facing up.

does anyone know why my tdc marks arent matching up?

btw i havent touched the tensioner nut
and the motor is all stock so original timing belt.

im not sure if since it stock its normal but can someone please help.

someone explaine what going on and what do i have to do

The lines should meet in the middle like this:




Some cams say UP on them like the ones listed (though they are aftermarket so that could be why)

Otherwise if everything else is lined up right then perhaps someone at some point put the timing belt on wrong?
