today i found out the hard way, the wonderful moron that installed my timing belt put a goodyear belt on and the fact is that the good year belt is slightly larger than the oem timing belt! waht does this mean u ask... well i got lucky so far and no bent valves however the belt is extremely loose and the tensioner wont too me no help, thank god the car is underwarranty im bringing it into acura on thursday.. As for the moron that installed it, i guess im a bigger moron for going to him at all.. but if i get my hands on him im gonna let him have it..sonofabeach fudged me over...i cant believe it i even brought the car to the track and ran it with this! thank God my motor hasnt suffered the ultimate! (Knocks on wood)

notice to all please use oem honda parts for belts and shiep like that!

 

I've used a Goodyear timming belt on my integra and its been driven hard for the last 4 months and no problems what so ever. One of the belts squeak, but its not the timing belt.. Maybe he put a timing belt made for a different year integra on your car?

 

go to o'reilly's and order one for your year and car, then do it yourself, I did mine, it took me the good part of the day, but it only cost me around 40.00 and about 6 hours. I could have saved some time my holding the cam gears in place with screwdrivers, but the book I got didn't say to do that, my friend told me about it.
