20V Black Top timing belt on Silvertop Engine

I'm not sure, but don't do it. It'll advance camshaft timing and if it's an interference engine, valves heat pistons.

Quote:Located at the front of the engine, the timing belt is driven by the crankshaft sprocket and drives the camshaft sprocket. Some engine designs use the timing belt to also turn another shaft that drives the ignition system. As the camshaft is turned, it opens and closes the engine valves to let the air and fuel mixture into the engine and the exhaust gases out. Installing the belt even one tooth out of alignment will cause the engine to run poorly. If the belt is more than a couple teeth out of alignment or it breaks, then the engine's valves will be open at the wrong time and the valves could be hit by the engine's pistons. This bends the valves and requires replacement of the damaged parts.
