D15b2 and y7 head...which timing belt?
 

Just to get the car going again before I build B and turbo...

I got a free D15b2 block and y7 head. I installed the block, bolted the head on, and now the timing belt that was on the b2 is too long. The head is shaved .010", but that won't be near enough to not let me tension the belt, so I think I need a shorter one. I think this one is 105 teeth? Which one could I use???

Re:D15b2 and y7 head...which timing belt?
 

eg d-series timing belts:
d15b7: 106 teeth
d16z6: 104 "
d15z1: 103 "

you are awesome... I recounted, mine's 106, so I think 103 should work... what's the z1 in, 5th gen vx?

Re:D15b2 and y7 head...which timing belt?
 

yeah the VX

Re:D15b2 and y7 head...which timing belt?
 

yup vx that one should work

Re:D15b2 and y7 head...which timing belt?
 

this better be the last part I need. this is adding up fast...

Re:D15b2 and y7 head...which timing belt?
 

oh and just cause I like you.

Part number is: PPE-A5000-35775 or just A5000-35775

And the GoodYear brand should be the cheapest.

ya vx.
i believe you need the z6, y7, or y8 belt. they should have the same teeth. price them out before buying, and count it before installing.

Re:D15b2 and y7 head...which timing belt?
 

so you think 104 vs. 103? It's milled though, it seems really loose with the 106. Like I can't turn the cam gear by rotating the crank with the tensioner at its max... big floppy timing belt.

I suppose 104 may be a safe bet, too short can't work at all, but a little loose can be tensioned...

any 1.5 block with 1.6 head uses vx belt..
no idea how many tooth tho... :P
