Yes I would trust him 100%. He sounds like a very knowledgeable individual, why waste money?

Honestly the automatic tensioners are faulty and I wouldn't trust them. I have had two fail on me luckily I replaced before they completely ruined my t belt and engine. Search Manuel tensioner conversion, it will give u peace of mind. It will cost u something like 100$ for the h23 parts. That's my recomendation.

or you can get this

the H23 manual tensioner conversion kit is $89.99 and has a lot of parts you have to replace, whereas Kaizenspeed's H22 timing tensioner product is just 10 more bucks and just requires you to replace the tensioner itself saving lots of time/confusion.
