Timing Problem

I had the timing redone a few weeks ago, and it was off a tooth. So today me and a buddie fixed it! now the new problem is..when i give the motor gas, it sounds like a tin can full of nails is rattling around in the motor? ne ideas? Also the motor idle's horribly. Im thinkin lifters n Valves. Any Ideas?

that sounds like dentonation.

you need to have your ignition timing re-adjusted since you changed your cam timing.

ignition timing? is that the distributor? cuz if it is,we did that already. If not..explain?? Could it be electrical? the noise from the motor. only happens when theres a load on it, it revs up nice on idle, but the idle is messed. It shakes like CRAAAZY!Maybe a sensor? i heard a loud SMASH noise when i first took it out of the shop to test it out, then it started chattering. motor runs really strong. but noises. Ahh!!! if anyone knows what the motor uses when it has a load on it...that could break but the motor still run strong..please let me know.

hmmm.....sounds like you have some weird issues.....have the shop who did the timing for you re-check everything carefully. im willing to bet that the cam timing is still off one tooth or the ignition timing is out to lunch.

Oh we just took the belt off and redid it to what honda says. crank lined up to the 3 little red dots. have it set in the middle. the cams with the arrow. straight up. is that right?
