you have to use the same timing belt as the water pump...

b16 water bump = b16 timing belt
gsr water pump = gsr timing belt

The B16 timing belt won't work on the B18 blocks, reguardless of of the head. The deck height is shorter on the B16 block. The B16 and GSR water pumps are the same. They both have 22 teeth that the belt rides on. Use the Gsr timing belt and water pump.
