Anyone whos using a thicker headgasket(3mm) on their B16 might be able to help me out here. What timing belt did you use when you put the headgasket on. Did you have to get a bigger one, if so which one? We are having a hell of a time getting the stock b16 timing belt on so we are thinking we need a bigger one. Or we need to eat alot more Wheaties.

Thanks

 

Stock belt will work!

 

make sure you back out the tensioner bolt enough so the tensioner slides nice and easy. sounds like to me that you were fighting the tensioner

 

Stock belt but your cam timing will be off. You will need adjustable cam gears and degree the cams back to stock or if its aftermarket cams...degree them to the cam card.
