which timing belt do i use ive already bought the origional 88 dx belt to long i bought the y8 belt and the teeth are to close so the belt doesnt even go on what do i do now?????

 

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

 

y8/z6 belt works..Try taking the spring off the pulley tensioner,then put on the belt on over the cam gear

 

what i mean is the teeth are to close on the timing belt and dont even wrap arout the gears water pump cam or crank gear

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..

 

i wished it worked for me but nope no luck here

 

maybe the place gave you the wrong belt?

 

aright finally got it right its the 95 civic vx belt fits like a perfect fit thanks for all of your help guys

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..
