anyone got any good write ups so i can do this mini me timing belt change?

 

Get a timing belt for a civic vx or just get an adjustable cam gear

 

um... okay.

Changing the timing belt on a mini-me will be exactly like any other d-series. Just buy the timing belt that matches the head and you should be fine.

 

belt should match the head. if you have a d15 block and a d16 head then get an adjustable cam gear.

 

why get an adjustable cam gear.....is the timing from this setup gunna be off a tooth or suttin or is it just like an insurance type thing.....like better for later if i boost or spray?

 

Im one tooth advanced on the cam and have the ingition retarded all the way. my car pings like crazy without octane boost.

Just ordered the skunk2 gear

 

i've never heard you needed a new cam gear either. I also have an a6/y8 mini-me so it's a straight 1.6L setup and i have an adjustable cam gear.

Why not go back 1 tooth?

 

I bet if I went back a tooth it would be cool, but the gear arrives today.

 

I had a 92-95 D16z6 timing belt on my A6/Y8 mini me setup a while back.

 

still dosent really answer my question...cmon guys..i already searched and all i found was that green del sol belt change....ne more around or any advise

 

get... a.... service.... manual...

seriously, they're what? $10 for a haynes? I don't understand how you can even think of working on your car without one. Honda-tuning had a writeup a while ago of a timing belt change but i'm not going to dig through my basket to find it right now.

 

pm me if you need help finding a helms.

 

God damn man, i changed a timing belt on a Sohc and a dohc and both are not as bad as it seems unless you'r a total noob at workin on cars... Really, just buy a haynes book for the car you have and follow the directions, the timing belt change on a mini me is the same god damn thing as a regular timing belt change. But make sure you leave that spring on the tensioner off, thats what i had to do and my other buddy with a mini me swap had to do basically, but good luck tryin to keep it.

Check this out.. it should help.

Just set the timing at STOCK for the head and the block. And use the timing belt that matches the head.

This is what I did on my D15B7/Z6 head and it worked just fine.

 

i never knew how easy it was to install a z6 timing belt..i did it and did it in an hour...i used a big gorilla lug wrench with lots of extensions, blocked the front wheels and threw it in 5th...poped right off and was all smooth from there....thanx guys for the great responses.....now to do the gasket
