so i got 2 different asnwer and need to know what timing belt to use on my ls vtec. its a ls block with b16 head and b16 water pump. i know both gsr and b16 uses the same 22 t water pump. and few people told me i have to use gsr timing belt and some says i have to use same as the head, which is a b16. so what is the correct asnwer? thanks in advance.

use a b16 or gs-r timing belt because ls water pumps only have 19 teeth and you have 22 teeth

what about the block height difference?

You need to use the LS/B20 OEM belt...most people use adjustable cam gears on LSV or B20V swaps because the timing will be off a little bit, also if the head/block have been milled down this may also effect it. So LS/B20 OEM belt with adjustable cam gears is key.

^^^ best LS/VTEC how-to thread on H-T in my opinion.

Parts list includes a 22-tooth water pump (B16/GSR/ITR) and a GSR/ITR timing belt. I would go by that.

LS waterpump = LS Timing belt
GSR/B16 Waterpump = GSR Timing belt

B16 timing belt wont work on a 1.8-2.0

B16 only works on b16 motor.
b18 block w/ 22 tooth pump use the gsr/itr belt.
b18 block w/ 19 tooth pump use the ls belt.

It's very simple.
