ka24e timing aghhh so over the weekend i have taken the head off polished everything resealed everything snaped it back on had hard time starting it bearly got it goin and car runs like *** sounds like a civic and leaks power like a sunfire once you gas rpms don't go up how they supose too. Wel i figure its timing the crank must of moved a notch or two as well when i took the cam out to change valve seals i never marked it ..am i aa dumb *** So is there a way to correct timing without removing timing chain cover ??? and if there is no other way how can i remove my timing cover the fast way becouse according to the manual you need to drain alll fluids and remove rad and so on....

I change my timing chain without removing rediator.Unmount the mech. fan, it will give you plenty of space.

No, it is impossible to change timing belt without removing the cover. You have to line up the dot on the crank gear, and the guide. Then you have to .. blah blah blah.. you know.Unless you have x-ray eyes, and magneto power ( to hold the spring on guide so you can fit chain into cam gear) ... or else you have to remove the cover. You might as well get a set of timing chain too, and maybe both guide too,and maybe water pump... so you don't have to worry about the chain/remove cover for another 100k miles :)

Hope this help. :D
