Owner: Stumped!
Car: 1992 Acura Integra
Motor: Junkyard B18A1 // Motor had the following Stamps : " A " : 2357483 : " HM "
What I'm looking for is pictures of the Timing Belt set up for a stock LS motor [B18A1] .

Reason: Went to replace belt today , Bought belt from Auto Zone Part number # 95184.

Get back to the garage , Lined everything up to T.D.C. , Then proceded to put the belt on and in place and notice about 2 inches of slack!

So my 1st thought , It's the wrong belt! Take another trip to Auto Zone and verify it's the right one.

Guy behind the counter mentions non-vtec or someshit I think he was drunk So I just left in a pissed mood.

But When I originally bought the belt earlier today the guy was decent enough to print me out a basic picture of what my motor looks like [sideview] and how the belt is set-up.

So I'm looking at the picture after thinking the belt is too big , And this is what I see on the list:

Camshaft Sprokets: Current

Tensioner Pulley: Current

Tensioner: NONE

Crankshaft Sprocket: Current

Water Pump Pulley: Current

Idler Pulley: NONE

So I'm thinking maybe he gave me a wrong picture/diagram of another B series but as far as I thought , It was pretty much all the same set-up? .

To anyone who reads this please bump , The car is currently in a friend of a friends garage , And i'm getting charged rent space for it and tool usuage!

Please help out post pics or help full links that I can use for referance .

I have to be outta there by the end of tomarrow running or not , So any help is appreciated!

If there is any needed info I left out please ask , kinda tired here on 2 hours of sleep LNC FTW!!!


Edit: Car has no A/C or P/S!!

you should buy the belt from the dealer......aftermarket timing belts are an accident waiting to happen,

I hope you pay attention when you install it because you will be doing it again in three months.You might even want to brush up in head removal and line up a machine shop to replace the bent valves I see in your future.
