- Thu Apr 09, 2009 12:23 am #109260 hay whats up guys ok i need some info... my drive belt snapped off (punches himself) now the question is can i just put a new belt on or is my timing thrown off from it snapping? and if so how do i put it back on time i have a SOHC ZC VTEC help?!

- Thu Apr 09, 2009 12:28 am #109263 well if it snapped while driveing id check your compression first since you may have bent valves though you may have been lucky enough to not do such a thing anyhow check your compression. and after that set the head using the markings on the cam gear if all checked out that is to tdc as well as the bottom end and then reinstall your timing belt thats pretty much all you need to do to get it back in time....though im concerned about your valves......

- Thu Apr 09, 2009 1:39 am #109277 are we talking bout the alternator belt or timing belt?

- Fri Apr 10, 2009 2:21 am #109532 Well im effing praying that i didnt all i need is a new motor i love my Sohc ZC

- Fri Apr 10, 2009 2:24 am #109535 well most likely you would just need to either replace the valves or replace the head with one from a Z6 or something like that...you wouldnt need to get rid of the zc
