I'm trying to help a friend who just bought a civic with a ZC motor. It wont start it appears that the timing belt jumped. We're not used to working on Hondas. What is a ZC motor? Is it something speacial internal or just a series number like fords 351 cleveland and windsor.

 

Just a reference code for enthusiasts, no particular meaning. Do you have access to a timing light?

 

yes I do have a timing light
