I did a quick search for vids, but found none on your gen Civic. Yours is very similar to mine. Compare the instructions in the post above this one with my pics... that's all you'll need. Btw, reading the marks off the crank can be a PITA because of angles and obstructions. Be patient!
I read your thread and to start, I'd like to say thank you, it's quite thorough & helpful; but I need some clarity on just one thing. There's a gentleman who goes by mwebb who stated, "Base Ignition timing value or you will find degraded performance increased emissions and engine damage "

Seeing that I've never done this before, I'm no sure what to make of this, whereas it seems to read that if I try to do this blindly, I may do some kind damage to my engine somehow. Is it just as simple as lining up the marks with the timing light, or is there something more involved?
