I know this is a weird setup, but i blew the head. And i have an extra a6 head laying around. So i dropped that to the z6 block. And I tried using the Z6 timing belt. And it seems to be a bit short. And its very tight, can not even put belt on the tensioner. What timing belt should i use?

Is it true that i have to buy the timing belt that matches the head and I should be fine?

a6 T belt. Its gonna drop your compression down low.

 

use the a6 my friend

 

freaking im having problems installing the timing belt. I used the z6 tensioner and a6 timing belt. The belt seems to be a bit loose and when i used the a6 tensioner and a6 timing belt. The timing belt is also loose. Im so confused and dont know what timing belt to use now.

When i tried turning the crank by with the timing belt installing. The timing belt would pop out and go back again. So i know its loose. Could it be that i am using a timing belt from AutoZone? I know it would be better if i were to get a OEM one. But they want too much for it.

Well actually the block is a JDM D16a (similar to a z6) could it be that much of a difference?

 

it wont' matter what block it is, as long as the belt matches the head. Are you taking the proper steps to tighten the belt? Loosen tensioner, turn counter clockwise 2 complete turns then tighten.
