I've put a 8V head onto a 16V 1.6 block and the timing belt is too short... I know other people have done this before... What belt did they use? Iremember 11-EVL saying something about a Honda belt but can't remember the part number. |

How short is it? Aren't the tensioner bearings different? |

Tensioner roller is same OD. Belt is "about" 60 mm or 6 teeth too short.. I could go and buy a longer one and try it but these things aren't cheap so I'd rather learn from someone elses experience. |

Yes.. My old 1.3 is VERY tired. 1.6 bottom end was only $50 plus parts to rebuild. 1.3 reco'd head was $100. So its a cheap new motor. Benefits... Helps my wallet not die of malnutrition. |

the only difference between 8 valve and 16 is the thickness, not the length. |

I have already changed the crank pulley to suit the 1.3 8V cam pulley. 11_evl wrote: t100 honda belt is the one i used. i cant remember what specs i used, width gear wise

Ummm....yes. you're 1.3 belt IS too short as the 1.6 block is taller. the swaps i have done like that i have use vit pulleys....not sierra ones. my above post was refering to vit belts only 16v to 8v, and not the sierra ones. |
