I did a mini me swap with a d15b7 block with a d16z6 head but the timing beat is lose when tighting it. its off by a couple of teeth.. how could i fix it???

D16z6 head on D15b7 block = engine timing off by 1/2 a tooth. Get a cam pulley from a D16y7 or D16y8 to fix this problem. also it sounds like you may have the wrong timing belt. When you swap the D16y7/8 cam gear, try the timing belt that is for the same head as the one you get your cam gear from.

I'm assuming that you've already tried using the timing belt tensioner and it can't get any tighter?

so u mean i have to use the di16z6 timming? wont the d15b7 bealt work the same as well?

yes ur rite teal_dx i use the same tenioner and didnt do nothang.

you need to use the corresponding belt to the head you are using that is all

yep, what he said. z6 timing belt, and you should try using a cam gear from a d16y7 or d16y8 head, or buy an adjustable cam gear to make up for the 1/2 of timing difference you get when using a z6 head on a d15b7 block

you need the Z6 (if you head is Z6) timing belt of Y8 (if your head is Y8) HOnda tuning did a write up on this and they said you can use the VX belt i think its like 106 teeth belt compared to the 108 Z6 belt so its going to be a little more tighter

Use a y8 cam gear or a adj cam gear

Then get z6 timing belt 104 teeth or something?

b7 is like 3-4 more teeth i believe

how much is the z6 teeth ?? and how much is the a6 belt ? anybody PLEASE ??
