can i use the y7 belt on a z6 head and it will work no prob? or do i need adjustable cam gear and have to advance timing? need to kno thanks

 

nope you gotta use a z6 or a y8 timing belt...y7 timing belts are different...meaning the teeths on the timing belt...

 

iv heard of some people using the y7 belt? just have to advance timing? anybody kno anything about this?

 

i need to kno from sumone who actually knows... cause people are saying u need the z6 belt and others are sayin you can use the y7 WHATS THE REAL ANSWER

 

why dont u try it? if your motor gets messed up badly, or u just end up wasteing a few hours for nothing if its too big or too small.. then you can ask yourself.. is it really worth the 30 dollars or so, u would spend too get the CORRECT timing belt? and do it ONCE?

some people never learn.. skimp or try too shortcut measly costs.. end up paying ten times or more in repairs after that shortcut fails

 

Now what sense would it make to advance the timing to make an belt thats too big suddenly fit? use the Z6 belt

y7 and y8 belt are the same. z6 may be different, but i've never tried it.

to OP, are you just changing the belt on your z6, or did you do a head swap?

 

i did the head swapi put a z6 on a y7 block.. i have the belt thats not that issue at all.. the problem is me being able to get the crank pully off...i want to kno if its nessassary or not.. and the belt DOES fit on the gear.. but there is a one tooth difference i think but wouldnt it be ok to use my y7 cam gear?

does anyone kno the forshure answer cuz everyone sayin you cant but people sayin u can..

 

the Y7 belt has too many teeth, and changing cam gears won't help. you won't have the right belt tension, it'll be out of time a bit, you'll have premature belt failure, and risk bending a valve, so enough people have told you the correct way to do it....so go ahead and use the Y7 belt, while your at it pour some metal shavings in your crankcase, and drain all your coolant and replace it with maple syrup.

That motor would be delicious.

 

:-) very, guess ill just have to find a way to get my pully off then.. thanks for help lol, made my day

 

you need the belt off the the head your using.....

 

i just dont understand why u would need that belt... cause the gears are the same so wouldnt that mean that the belt would be the same..i just dont understand how this works..

 

umm im usig a y7 belt on a y7 block witha z6 head.. belt has the same amount of teeth loosers

 

THANK YOU WTF THANK YOU **** I LOVE YOU, you switch the belt if your doing the swap on a damn eg d15, i swear the belt fits perfect which is why i dont understand why people are saying you have to switch it... THANK YOU so now i kno thats not the problem thanks

380whp and you run a 12.3? What are you towin a boat when you run? Might have something to do with the fact the your timing belt has more give than the pillsbury doughboys belly when you poke it......

 

that was at 280whp with my non vtec y7 head smart ***.. been too rainy to goto the track since ive swapped heads and been tuned only "3 weeks"

 

actually pretty sunny today here in socal

 

nasty as hell here

 

very nasty here feels like nado about to hit haha.. so y7 belt fits z6 head? positive? cuz ur name says y8 block z6 head &gt;.&lt;

 

ok heres the story
i had a y7 engine stock blew it to hell and back
bought a bare Y8 block put my y7 crank crank pully oil pump water pump with some srp pistons and eagle rods.. with my y7 head

ran 12.3 116 280whp

bought a z6head ploped it on my engine and used my y7 belt made 300+whp ohh the y7 and y8 block are identical cept that lil stamp on it and the oil pan but everyhtng is hybrid on them
