I made the mistake of not checking it when I swapped it in, now that I have popped the belt with less than 15 actual miles on the motor, I would like to know (and I have searched ) what usdm motor can I use for the timing belt for the DOHC jdm f20b?
h22 with some aftermarket cam gears? thats what I have now, and it looks like a tooth or so off. which means a lot of adjusting with the cam gears, I can get this done, I was just wondering if there were another way, h23 timing belt? or?

thanks, and if you have the JDM honda part # avail, please let me know, I can order it from my dealership. at least that what they tell me.

 

don't quote me on this but I think you can use the H23 timing belt for that.

 

you can use the H22 timing belt it will fit fine. I did the timing belt service for my brothers 95 civic coupe with an F20b and i used a brand new honda h22 timing belt. not that i think it matters but i switched it over to the h23 manual tensioner set up. EVERYTHING lines up perfect. Stock f20b pcb gears and all. belt wasnt too tight or loose after i got it on there and all the marks were on the money. when i started the car no squeaking no walking belt no bogging. perfect. when he took it to get tuned the tuner shot the timing and it wasnt off alot. the car runs perfectly fine. Hope this helps

but if youre the paranoid type you can try giving http://www.autodynamics-usa.com a look. i got my f20b pcb head set from him. he is in singapore and shipping is up there, but if you are a paranoid type, thats another option for you. But the h22 timing belt you can get from the dealer should do just fine. works for my brother! and very soon ill have one on my f20b
