Sounds like the auto tensioner has failed. Mine walked off just like that and shaved about 1/4" off as well. I took everything off and swapped to the manual tensioner. My timing belt still is about 1-2mm over the edge but stays there...My friends h23 does the same thing..I think in order to eliminate it completely you would need to replace the cam gears, crank gear, all the pulleys and the water pump gear to ensure everything is 100% flat. Also make sure that the balance shaft pulleys are installed correctly.
Did you follow the helms manual on the install?

Dumb question, but I did this once, without the balancer belt in there, do you still have the balancer pulley on the crankshaft? If you don't the timing pulley will walk out when running, until the belt hits the valve cover up top.

I have my balance shafts deleted on both my H22s, I think the delete is actually supposed to even help oil pressure

Re: h22a timing belt walking off the cam gears
That's a negaitve, Ghostrider. The idler pulley bolt is bent. Straighten or replace. No need to replace *everything*.
I would go with the H23 manual tensioner. The auto tensioner is a ticking time bomb even on stock cams. Having personally witnessed a failure (I was the passenger 3 hours from home) on a newly installed one with less than 20,000 miles I went manual long, long ago.
Good luck, OP.

Re: h22a timing belt walking off the cam gears
Can anyone else comment about the kstuned tensioner and not going with h23 conversion, It would be great to hear some users comment. Sounds good on website but u know how that can be

Kaizenspeed just debuted that part last week, but it looks sweet, is the perfect idea, and they always build a precision product with lots of r & d in it, not to mention they build alot of fast H cars, and race an 8 sec H powered civic.
Damn, Blake beat me!

It's too new to really know how good it is, either way you go you still need that bolt replaced.

Re: h22a timing belt walking off the cam gears
I am in the middle of my build, last week I read the post that Kaizenspeed came out with the new manual tensioner so I picked one up. I am not finished with my build yet, but I the install was awesome. Bolted right up, I'll write a review after I finish my build.

Re: h22a timing belt walking off the cam gears
Installer error, IMHO. Nothing was different before you were monkeying with the timing, then after you monkeyed with it, it's walking off. If it was fine with an older bolt I'd go back to that one. It'd be pretty easy to check the run-out of the bolt with a $20 V-block set and a test indicator. If it's crooked, bend it straight, install and let the engine idle while watching the belt like a hawk. No issue? Button it up and run it.
Either way, that's the great thing about the internet. No one has to believe SH¡T. It's free advice. You don't like it? That doesn't bother me one iota.
Cheers,

Re: h22a timing belt walking off the cam gears
Has anybody tried Greddys belt kit? Both the timing belt and tensioner belt is supposed to be high quality stuff. Any takers?
