Default Timing belt issue and question.

I am building and ls vtec. b16 head milled .020 b18a block. Gsr w/p and timing belt and oil pump. Im having the timing belt off 1/2 a tooth issue.

I was wonder if Honda sold Belts that are 1 tooth less for milled heads. I know other manufacturers do. And at the same time Will I still have the issue since Im only a half a tooth off?

Nope. Use a gsr timing belt.

shouldn't be a problem lining everything up, to make it super tight, put a coat hanger under the lip that extends from the back of the tensioner, and pull up.. and tighten.

Why would I need adjustable cam gears if its lining up besides for tuning reasons?

Compensate for milling.. When you mill, your cam timing gets retarded.
From what your saying your having slack issuses or line up issuses?
