i bought a 95 civic with a blown motor from my buddy. The car ran and one day on his way down he blew the motor. so i pulled the motor and replaced the block and had the head checked and valves resealed. at the time i didnt realize that the head wasn't factory. the code on the head says year 94 pm 3-6. the guy that did my head said that it was an a6 head, i couldn't find any info to back that up. but any ways my problem is with the head on tdc and the crank at tdc. The slots on the cam shaft where the distributor line up are straight up and down. which puts the rotor on the number 3 tower. the manual says it needs to be on the number 1 tower. I have a adjustable cam gear. But even with the timing retarded as much as the gear will allow it still doesn't line up with the timing marks. At this point i have no idea what to do next. i was thinking maybe if i change the cam to tdc with out moving the crank with the timing retarded. but again im not sure just a shot in the dark. i would think most likely being an interfearance motor that it would hit the valves. any thought would be much appreciated.
