d16z6 is too tight, try the D15b7. it may seem loose at first but after you adjust the tensioner it should be alright :thumb:

{ IMPORTANT: Several places on the net and several people on Honda-Tech say that the VX (D15Z1) timing belt is the one to use for this swap because it is for a 1.5L VTEC. THIS IS INCORRECT! When I did the initial head swap, I used a VX timing belt. The VX timing belt was WAY too tight, and whined when the engine was at high rpm. I unfortunately did not discover this until the entire head was assembled. The VX timing belt has 103 teeth, where as the Z6 timing belt has 104 teeth, and the B7 belt 106 teeth. I was finally able to replace the VX timing belt with the Z6 timing belt, and the Z6 timing belt fit much better and didn’t whine. THE D16Z6 timing belt is the correct belt to use with a B7 block / Z6 head combination


but i have a D16a6 , not sure, ill mix and match, also instead od adj cam gear can i just move my distributor back and forth to impruve and tune timing ? thanks again

cam gear is for engine timing, adjusting the dizzy is for ignition timing. 2 different types of timing. one matched the cam with the crank, the other tells the spark plugs when to fire.
