Hi i have a 92 prelude si, and i dropped a JDM h22a. think its a 92-96 motor.I bought a timing belt for a 00 h22a but it wont fit. Im gussin becuase its a jdm motor. it was too short. ive tried many other belft , its eiter too short or the teeth is not right. i was thinkin of just order one from japen but i dunt want too cuz it will take too long. is there any othere yrs that can fit in my h22a.

 

errr i have a jdm swapped 4th gen and just went to a honda dealership and bought the timing belt for a 4th gen h22

if you buy oem it should fit no problems

 

you probably arent loosening the tension on the belt, are you?

any h22 belt will fit

 

u can tell the differance between the old and the new one, its shorter by like 1 ft

 

Buy a belt for the OBD1 motor, H22A1, 93-96 Lude SRV. That should fit. While you are at it, replace the waterpump, the balancer shaft belts and seals. Most don't replace these parts and get issues about 20-30xxxkms after a new T-belt. Might aswell replace everything while you are doing that, saves money in the long run.

 

What parts are needed for the timing belt. What are the parts you need to do the whole 90k tune up?

a 1ft difference!? are you sure you have a honda prelude belt? maybe you have a balance shaft belt and think its a timing belt? i dunno, but i don't think you have a h22 timing belt. its a h22, and so h22 belts will fit it whether its jdm or usdm.

i replaced my timing belt, water pump, balance shaft belt, auto-tensioner, crank seal, balance shaft seal, cam seals, valve cover gasket, spark plug gaskets, and cam cap (the seal on the intake cam, on the distributor side). its a lot of stuff, but you might as well do it while you're at it. and you will save a few$100 bucks by doing it youself.

Wrong!! They are the same exact belt from 93 to 01 vtec preludes. It sounds to me like he doesnt not know how to install the belt correcty.

 

1 ft might be lil too much buts its off. 93-01 is not the same. Have u even dun one on the exact motor? i even got ppl thats workin at a shop that even tryed. so plz stop giving worng info

 

ummm..i've put a belt from a 97 usdm onto a 95 jdm. my friend bought it for his 97, and put it on his 95 jdm. yes the belts are the same.

 

He means the difference between the belt he pulled off and the belt they sold him. Not the 93-96 and 97+ belts (which are the same, yes)

Go to a different shop, then because Honda has the same damn part # for all H22s: 14400-P13-014. You don't know what you're doing.

Dont correct me when your not correct I have done more Hseries timing belts and engines then you have and probably more then 95% of the people on this board. Thank you come again.

 

Listen to the technician! They fight you sometimes to get them on but keep trying, it will go on.

 

F.Y.I make sure the auto tensioner ( if your still using one) is retracted all the way in and has the gold retainer on it that you remove after the belt is on
