Default h22/f22 dual tentioner

just wondering if there is a eliminator kit to eliminate one tentioner or if there is an easier way of doing the tentioner when putting the head on

I don't understand your question. There is only one timing-belt tensioner on these motors.
Undo the tension on the belt, slide it off the camshaft gears, then take your cylinder head off, assembly is in reverse order.

The H22 uses an auto-tensioner, of course. Its impossible to release the tesion without taking it all apart. But before you remove the head, you can "lock down" the auto tensioner by loosening the 10mm lock pin sticking out of the timing cover. Back it out until it stops and then snug it a bit. You are now able to remove the camshafts without the auto-tensioner fully extending. Does this help?

Well you cant really delete the tensioner for the timing belt. How would it stay tight? You can convert it to manual tensioner from an H23 engine. Check in the FAQ section. You can also delete the balancer belt tensioner. Rosko racing and Kaizenspeed have balancer elimination kits. But setting up the belts isnt all that difficult.
