Well been looking everywhere for information about the timing belt drive. Hard to get pictures or how to even put these things in the right order.

I'm trying to figure out how to put the guides and pulley on my crank. Honda parts unlimited describes putting a guide on then the pulley then another guide. And also has a picture of another pulley with only one guide after. I'm doing an lsvtec.



I disassembled the block years ago and don't have parts or knowledge of how it goes back.



I then bought the belt drive for the, what seems to be for 95+ integras. My block is from the older gen like 92. Which in the pictures has 2 belt drive guides. Does it matter which setup I can use? What I have here is how I believe it goes on. Oil pump then belt drive pulley, then guide. Is that correct? I have a 89mm scat crank which has all stock measurements for ls motor.





The smallest things hold me up from assembling lol

 

You need the other setup with 2 guides and a pulley gear. With the piece you have you need two keys. Im not sure if there are other issues thatll arise

 

The key is built into the lower timing gear (unless I don't remember right and the reluctor ring one needs a key) - the other key is for the crankshaft pulley. Anyways, you can use either setup. One setup has the guide built into the timing gear and is set up with the reluctor ring for a crankshaft sensor. The other setup has auxiliary guides and can't be used with a crank sensor.

On either setup make sure the guide curves AWAY from the belt. If you put them on backwards it will chew the belt to shreds. Just think - smooth to belt / belt is smooth.

 

Thanks to the both of you. One thing is I do believe is, I could use either which is a good thing cause I already spent $70 for the gear ha.

Also no crank sensor is going to be used. And the gear has a slot for a key. The other gear with 2 guides has a built in key on it. Would I be better off getting the gear with 2 guides since no sensor is being used? 👍

 

A little mock up of what it appears to look like. I just don't want to have the timing belt cocked out cause the gear. It it's all the same for b series all leave it like this

 

Thanks for confirming my brain was remembering wrong hehe.

There will be no issues (especially if you use an OBD2 oil pump) as Honda made them from the factory like that. Either way, you could always measure to the end of the snout to verify gear placement. It would be easy enough to do with how you have everything setup already.

 

The one thing to remember, and I didnt catch this right away until I was ordering parts, you need to order two keys for that setup vs one key for the setup without the cas wheel. This is because the setup with two guide plates has the key as a part of the pulley.

Looks like it should work fine. Theres no reason why it wont work as long as its clearing the oil pump. That was my real concern since I dont know if youre using an obd2 pump or not

 

Yea I set it up real quick to see how it is. Just making sure with others before I bolt the damper on 😬. I'm using an ITR oil pump. I may order the other gear in case.

Cause it seems like when I pull the damper on it still has another 1/8" inch left before the damper is flush with the crank snout. Everything is touching like the back of the damper to the belt guide. Is that normal for the damper not to be flush with the snout? I don't want to torque the bolt over 100+ lbs and strip it out ha

 

Is the crank snout 1/8in too long or too short
