I searched and found nothing on this topic. The other day i started noticing a bad vibration during certain RPM's and i got really worried that it was a rod. But it sounded like plastic and wasn't as consistant as a rod knocking. So i finally figured out that it was the timing belt slapping on the plastic cover. I dont have the top cover, just the bottom section.

Is this a good sign that the auto tensioner is finished?

I have an old f22 laying around and was wondering if the manual tensioner off of it would fit up. Any ideas?

 

the f22 and h23 manual tentioners all all the same , so you can def use it.
