a6 head on z6 block. which timing belt?
I know this is a weird setup, but i blew the head. And i have an extra a6 head laying around. So i dropped that to the z6 block. And I tried using the Z6 timing belt. And it seems to be a bit short. And its very tight, can not even put belt on the tensioner. What timing belt should i use?
Is it true that i have to buy the timing belt that matches the head and I should be fine?

Re: a6 head on z6 block. which timing belt?
freaking im having problems installing the timing belt. I used the z6 tensioner and a6 timing belt. The belt seems to be a bit loose and when i used the a6 tensioner and a6 timing belt. The timing belt is also loose. Im so confused and dont know what timing belt to use now.
When i tried turning the crank by with the timing belt installing. The timing belt would pop out and go back again. So i know its loose. Could it be that i am using a timing belt from AutoZone? I know it would be better if i were to get a OEM one. But they want too much for it.
Well actually the block is a JDM D16a (similar to a z6) could it be that much of a difference?

Re: a6 head on z6 block. which timing belt?
well i finally gave up using the a6 timing belt and used a D15b7 belt. And it was just right! no need to swap the a6 tensioner over. the a6 belt seem to be a longer by 1 teeth. so using the b7 belt solved everything.
