anyone even had a problem with the timing belt not staying tight on a h22? I used a brand new timing belt and a brand new auto tensioner. Please let me know if anyone has had this problem befor and how you fixed it.

I think the only solution with the auto tensioner is to bleed it or whatever and try it again.

 

bleed it?
HUH? its a brand new tensioner..

 

the autotensioner is junk you should convert it to the manual one

 

Convert to an h23 manual tensioner like pretty said. If a shop did it then take it back to them.

 

a shop didnt do it.. I did... i have changed many timing belts befor on cars other than honda but i have never ran in to the belt staying this loose.

 

get a h23 manual tensioner....no problems then.

 

did you follow the tensioning sequence in the Helm manual?
