Yep, it's just a Honda Accord that's been beaten with an ugly stick.

If you are looking at buying a Rover, have a look at a 75, it's a very nice car. Not sure about its reliability though.

Hey Rob, I'm all good thanks, just did a h/g on a GA15 Pulsar of mine, what a prick of a job.
But, anyway, if it's a SOHC engine, they are not bad to do, just be aware the engine runs counter clockwise. You should be able to rip the head off in a couple of hours and you can release the cambelt tensioner without removing the lower timing cover.
As for bellky, he's a good guy and means well, but most people can't tell that he's just a serial piss taker.

As long as you have a concrete driveway, it will be OK. I'm still trying to get to do my lawns and house painting, and it looks as if the weather will get worse.

Nada, she's a dohc, pretty sure it's the honda 2.3 accord engine, and yeah, i figured it would run arse about face

Oh, a twin cam! Might be the old 2.0 litre.nice.
No doubt bellky will say something stupid again soon.

I've seen a picture of you Adrian I hope you know.

If Honda only fitted a left hand thread bolt in the crank pulley, but no.
If you somehow manage to remove the crank pulley bolt (should you choose to do so), it needs to be very fn tight when you put it back on (250Nm I think!) otherwise, it will just unwind itself.

One other thing I forgot to mention, I think that once you set up you cam timing (TDC, firing on 1), you may be able to lock the cams by the inserting two 8mm drill bits through the top of the front cam bearings (when it comes to replacing / refitting the cambelt).

I think that 2.3 might have some issues that aren't so common on a usual DOHC Honda 2.2 - might pay to Google what they are

I've never completely trusted timing marks of any description, just about all cams have split timing on the overlap, this means I set the cam / s to equal amount of lift at o/l and then check timing marks provided. sometimes it pays to even check TDC with a drinking straw down the ol' plug 'ole,then I vvvvvery carefully turn the engine over by hand ( no plugs ) to feel for any valve contact, don't think everyone does it this way, but there's no points for a cock up.

yep ok

Thanks for that. I didn't know that the DOHC was used in 623s.

The numbering gets a bit confusing - it isn't a VTEC like the H22a or the later H23a from the CL Accord wagon
