    my question is, what would be easier a timing gun or a pressure guage and
    how do i use a timing gun or what psi must the gauge be for the #1 piston
    to be in time for my 03' civic si hb vtec. i know to line the timing marks
    on the cam & crank pulley, i was just wondering if it would be easier with
    the tools and how i would i operate them

    You've got no distributor.

    Why, on a car this new, do you need to adjust the ignition timing?

    To check it, you need a timing light.

    If you've removed the chain for some reason, you need to make sure all the
    marks line up properly, with the #1 piston at the top of its compression
    stroke, before buttoning it all up.

    The only tool I can think of is a head with a brain filled with the know-how
    of auto maintenance.
