have fun gents scrap me off the list. timing belt snapped... asshole!! ggrrr hope nothing else broke

Ron, thats some bad luck man.. Hope it works out for you..

Did you change to a new belt when you did the new cams?

WTF

jeebus i hope you aint running a gatesor other aftermarket item.....Ron get it fixed asap and get out here !

i was sooo gee'd for tomorrow dammit.

oem Honda belt brand new when my motor was put together.

don't wanna hijack this thread further but a quick question on possible causes;

1)someone once replied to me on here that a ****ed dizzy bearing could snap belt from resistance.. how likely is this the case? coz the bearing sound did get worse and i didn't end up fixing it.

2)timing belt tensioner too tight??


next questions:
1) OEM Honda belt again
OR
2) "Performance" belt?

***EDIT***
don't worry benny i'll definitely be out next time you guys book a lane for some "WSID Stress Relief" after some more expenses on this

tensioner too tight/loose could prematurely snap belt
dizzy bearing - never heard of a seized one do this.mind you you can hear a bearing slowly die a long time before it probably seizes

Badluck Ron.

ill be there recording slow 1/4s
if anyone wants some in car footage just ask you can borrow the camera and ill youtube it laters

dunno maybe go the toda belt or apexi belt?

sorry to hear mann.. bad luck.... there irony in this though.. remember when i told you to get a performance belt for a peformance motor?? hopefully your valves are ok... maybe go toda or gates or is it worth trying the oem honda one again?

Nothing Beats OEM belt man. We use OEM belts only on our B16a and nothing is wrong. We even reuse second hand belts on our current b16a motor as it was the only belt that could be found before one of the supersprint rounds.

Gota make sure its tension properly and or ensure nothing can get into the timing belt area. A small rock can cause a belt to rip

when you say nothing can beat oem belt...? does that mean youve tried other good branded timing belts and they have done a worse job then the honda one?

IMO
oem belt for oem motor
performance belt for performance motor for higher revs etc lets just say the toda timing belt was the best investment i made for my motor... but each to there own opinion
