I have a 97 Honda Civic HX, and i have swaped the Head from the EX after i got it ported and pollished with new valves and springs ect.... i put it in its all on correct( everything at TDC ect. ect), i even followed a few "mini me" swap write ups. But now my car is reading No Compression (0 psi) with my Comp. tester, I kept the HX Cam in there because the EX cam i have with it is baddly worn. I was thinking this could be the problem and was going to swap the cams out today, or that my timing is just off all together, but since i dont wanna buy a timing light i wanted to ask first

Help is much appreacited, i have no car

 

the cam for sure.

the HX cam has one less lobe that the EX one. You could have bent things bolting that down possibly.

I would switch out to the correct cam, adjust the valves, and go from there

 

Thanks Man it was the cam.... everything is good to took it for a test drive, has deff. power loss for timing so im taking it somewhere and getting it dyno tuned tomorrow

 

tuned with what?

 

unless you have either an adjustable cam gear (which is pointless on a sohc) or a stand alone (which is also pointless on a na non modified motor) you just need a timing adjustment which can be done without a dyno. btw are you using an ex ecu?
