Isuzu 1JZ timing belt has square teeth, is this right?

[destrux]

I ordered the 88' trooper 2.6L timing belt from NAPA that people are using on the 1JZ and the belt I got has teeth that are almost square (the edges are rounded). The belt that came on my 1JZ has round teeth (so do the sprockets). Is this the same kind of belt people have been using? Doesn't seem right. I made sure the belt was the right part number. It's a gates T147.

Also, does anyone know if the belt driftmotion sells is a trooper belt or is that a belt made for the 1JZ?

This is the Izusu, 88 2.6 Motor, Timing Belt on my car.

They are round and fit snug on the gears. DM sells the same belt as a 1JZ belt. If it was an OEM belt for the 1JZ, it would need to come from Toyota but they are being strict on importing parts.

Ya mine was round. Works perfectly.

Ok, thanks, I'll just get the Isuzu belt. I need an idler pulley from rockauto anyway, and they have the belt for $13. I sent the NAPA one back cause I noticed they billed me $52 for it.
