Anyone ever have a problem with the PE belt being too loose even when the tensioner is as tight as it goes???

any suggestions??

 

what motor?

 

wrong belt?

 

there is only one b-series PE belt

 

I'm pretty sure there's B16 belt and a different belt that applies to B18.

 

B16 and B18 are two different belts, so the wrong belt is a possibility.

 

Nah, those belts stretch out...tried re-using one that had low miles and the belt wouldnt tension enough.

Would you recommend OEM over a PE belt?

 

I figured out the problem... wrong water pump was used

It's a DART block with B18C PE belt and it WAS an LS water pump... I've since changed it to a VTEC (ITR/GSR) water pump

i see only 2.....

 

RB Motoring has 3 different part numbers all in stock (I checked for you today):
BH111 (B18C)
BH121 (B16A)
BH221 (B20B)

 

DO NOT USE OEM BELT WITH TODA"S.....the teeth will fly right off.
even with the PE belt i will be changing it every 15-18,000 miles.
I still constantly check it like 2wice a week.

yeah, thats what it is..i have no idea what i'm doing.

 

cmon then, tell us how good a toda tbelt is, us it so dif then a oem belt, what is different about it, is it the toda cam gears? then what is it? is it me being wasted and hostile, yes it is!! if you have toda B's or lower, fuyck toda, use oem

 

I didnt say the Toda or PE timing belt is the worlds best timing belt!!!!!!
but with Toda's(B's), youre gonna strip that belt if its OEM. if you havent , your lucky.
i have B's, i know lots of posters and people who have stripped their timing belts because of the B's.
i don't get hostile on the net guy. so relax. do what you want. its your motor, i dont give a ****. if i have the cash to buy a $150 belt ..hey thats me not you...so dont worry about it. chill.
