i heard that when you use that belt with that head/block combo you need to take the spring all the way out of the timing belt tensioner just to get it in, i havent done it but thats what i heard which probably doesnt help

I never had that problem..I did a dx block/z6 head with y8 timing belt and a a6 si block/z6 head with a y8 timing belt..It was a lot tighter on the a6 block but still worked..

Damn you got that belt to work? That's good to hear..I tryed that belt first when I did the dx/d16z6 head motor and it fit and everything but when I revved it up it squeaked..I guess from being so tight..
