I bought a car with a blown engine. it had a 4afe in it stock and I put a 7a block on it and now the timing belt is to short to fit on the cam gear. i used the stock cam gear and stock crank timing gear. can any one help me out?

the 7a does use a differnt t/belt from the 4a, try the 7a t/belt & see if that works

check the sprocket teeth for being the same design

heres some more in fo I have the crank timing gear for the 7afe it has a round cut belt pattern and the 4afe has a square cut. I am thinking about returning this belt i tried today that didnt work and just buy a cam timing gear and put the 7afe timing gears and belt on.

thanks for all your help guys. if you have any more ideas let me know.
