Default JDM ZC non-vtec timing belt issues...(yes, I searched)

Well, I am having issues finding a timing belt. This JDM ZC non-vtec 1.6L belt is oddly long.

- I had ordered an OE 1.5L non-vtec belt and it does NOT work.
- I went to NAPA and picked up a Gates belt for a 1.6L VTEC (92-95 SI) and guess what - does NOT work!

I counted teeth and it has 107 teeth count. I went thru the gates website and seems as though 88-91 Civic SI belts have 107 teeth as well.

I am going to buy one today and throw it on and see if that works - Anyone ever do this or can tell me if I am f'ing up...I'd hate to learn the hard way when I drop the motor in the car and hurt stuff!

Thanks!

what year, sir? 87 or so?

EDIT - Are you talking about DOHC ZC, perhaps? I have a SOHC ZC. Thanks!

For the record - D16A belt from 90 CRX Si is also 107 teeth and works perfectly!
