    From memory there is about 2-3 teeth different between gen 2 & 3 belts. I would make sure the correct one gets put back on.

    If I recall it's 178 for Gen2 and 177 for Gen3. The change was to accommodate a smaller oil pump pulley on the Gen3.

    People have ran the Gen2 belt on Gen3 without any issues, although it's not ideal.

    If you can even get the Gen3 belt on, I'd say it will be too tight.
