Setup:
D16Z6
14B Turbo
HF Mani
FMIC
1G BOV
450cc injectors
Chipped P28
So,

I have a STR cam gear that is advanced 3 degrees. Do I need to set that back at zero?

I actually used regular plumbers tape on the threads...

It's still there. Not a drip.

Teflon Tape, Plumbers Dope, or Permex Thread Sealant.

If it's realy bad, JB Weld, A lot of my oil lines have JB Weld on them. Seals great, and it is not permenant because the heat and oil make it easy to spin off later. If it is hard, a propane torch does wonders to JB Weld.

Cool, I think I am going to JB it. Will have pics up as soon as I get her done. Maybe later today I dont know.

nice looking civic coupe you got there.. just making sure.. don't goop it everywhere around it, just a tad on the threads..

bumblezc

Yup, just mix some up and roll some on the threads with your finger. And obviusly try not to block the feed passage while doing it!!, But I'm all of you knew that!

HondaCivcEX

Thanks for the advice guys, just waiting for everything to dry now. Hopefully come monday it will be back on the road.(Im going to beout town this weekend or it would be this weekend)

bumblezc

Good luck man. You've got a good looking car there, let's hope you can add a "good running" to the title!

New Question.

Timing, Does it have to be at zero or can I leave mine advanced 3 degree?

I'm not quite sure your engine/setup but I'd put it back to stock for now. You may be able to achieve a little more power by adjusting the gear/gears later on a dyno but for now putting it back to stock will be safer and probably easier to tune depending on which fuel management your using.
