ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Timing Belt

    Hello everyone....ive searched google for this answer (maybe not thoughly enough) but anyway.....just wondering what brand timing belt are you guys running on your H22, im due to change it and i am searching around on ebay im seeing great deals but im seeing all kinds of brands like Dayco, AC DELCO, GATES, Bando....which would you recommend besides OEM that is still decent quality and affordable. Thanks

      OEM is ALWAYS the best choice when dealing with parts that can cause serious damage if they fail!

      I've heard good things about Gates, and AC Delco is an OEM supplier for GM, so I'd be comfortable with them.
      As long as you don't go bargain-basement, you install the belt properly, and you don't exceed the limitations of the belt's design (like revving significantly higher than the engine is designed to be revved in stock form), then you should be fine. I suggest doing the H23A1 manual tensioner conversion at the same time, if you haven't already. The stock H22 auto tensioner is known to fail (though many haven't, including mine...) It's a very worthwhile safeguard.
