Camshaft Timing On
1987 Honda 1.5L D15 Engines

The AERA Technical Committee suggests referring to the following information while setting the camshaft timing on 1987 Honda 1.5L D15 engines. This information applies to only those engines with multi-port fuel injection (CRX HF & SI, 4WD Wagon).

Through the years, Honda has used different methods for camshaft timing references, which has resulted in a camshaft sprocket with multiple identification marks. Only one of those marks is used for each timing method. Of course, the question always is: Which mark do we use?

The camshaft sprocket includes the word UP which applies, but is not specific enough to indicate the exact timing position. Refer to the illustration below and notice the small plastic pointer on the timing belt cover near the 7 o'clock position of the sprocket. Align the pointer with the mark on the sprocket while UP is at the top of the engine. Do not use the two timing marks that are near the 3 and 9 o'clock positions.
