like the title says is the h23 thermastat cover the same as the h22 and wat about the tensor for the timing belt?





i need help on this because i am trying to finish this engine up and put it bck into my car

 

Yeah both things are different on the 2 motors, the thermostat cover isn't very expensive though even from the dealer. The tensioner for the H23a1 is the better of the 2 and will bolt to the H22a, it's far more reliable.

 

So the tensioner from the h23a1 will fit on a h22a1

 

Yes, just search manual tensioner conversion, people have been doing it for years and is something that is usually the first thing done.
