pretty much anything is ok except for Conti it seems like. For these cars anyways.
But then RG has good luck with them...
OEM belts, Gates belts I would say. Maybe a Greddy or other Kevlar belt too.
You MAY get lucky Sy Haw. Mattys car just did this recently. Stripped em all off at the crank pulley end. But his car still ran and once he put a new belt on it, he got it running.
What you need to do is to pull all 4 plugs(no compression makes for easier turning over of the engine), put a 17mm wrench on your cams and try to move them a little. Don't turn them all the way over yet. But just to make sure they will move freely. And don't confuse valve spring tension with siezed caps.
Then if they turn, put a wrench on your crank pulley and rotate the crank till its not at TDC. Look down each spark plug hole and have it so the pistons are all at the same level, about half way up. none all the way up, none all the way down. Now you can turn the cams all the way as long as the crank stays there.
now put that wrench back on the cam bolts and rotate each cam all the way around and make sure it seems ok. If so, stop each one with the dowel pin up and timed basically correct. The exhaust cam will probably want to sit slightly skewed counterclockwize, like one tooth out.
Then time up the crank pulley.
Then replace the bbelt, tbelt, all tensioners, all seals including cam seals, etc. Make sure its tensioned correctly and in time after you rotate the engine.
Brett has a good way to do this quickly but I don't know it off the top of my head.
You can also pull your valve cover gasket and look at the cam caps. If they are siezed you will see them either dry from so much friction heat that they burned off the oil, black from the same thing, or lots of aluminum piled up around each cap. If this is obvious, start hunting for a head. If its not visually obvious right away, pull one cap at a time and have a look at them for scoring, ANY metal filings/flakes/shavings etc. If so, again, start looking for a head. If they all look normal, coolio, get on with the timing belt job.
When the timing belt is off, try to see if there is any play in the oil pump bearing. Look at the front balance shaft bearing too, for play.
And you may as well measure the crankshaft end play while its all apart.
Again, I wish you all the best and if you were closer, I could help you with some of this. Most of it is easy, but you need to know what you are looking at/for.
