I'm no expert but i had the same problem. try going to like a advance auto or whatever part store you have take the old one with you and just tell the you need a new belt a little bigger than this one and tell them your problem they should beadle to figure it out.

 

If it threw a rod, that belt may have stretched and is damaged. I'm not saying thats the reason why they are different lengths. New one is less than $30 dollars from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com less at autoparts stores.
