It is the same set up they just show a different pic in the diagram for the cam sprocket.Yours even has the pointer timing mark in the bottom left like the diagram shows.I just did a head job on a 1997 honda civic same engine a couple of days ago and used this same diagram to set the time.Engine runs great.
