H22 Timing Tensioner
KAIZENSPEED’s new H22 Timing Tensioner directly replaces the stock H22
auto tensioner and eliminates the annoying H23 manual tensioner
conversion.

The stock H22 automatic tensioner, also called a hydro tensioner is known
for premature failure, causing bent valves at the least.

The H22 Timing Tensioner eliminates the need for an H23 manual tensioner
conversion. Instead of spending your time reading how-to articles, this
tensioner allows you to simply remove two bolts and replace your failed
tensioner with one that can never fail!

Never use H23 manual tensioner conversion parts again!

For nearly a decade now, all of us H22 guys have had the problem of failed
auto/hydro timing belt tensioners. I’ve seen the stock H22 auto tensioner
fail more times than I can count. Brand new, OEM tensioners often fail in
a matter of months, leaving you dead in the water with bent valves.
In the old days, we would use the H23 manual tensioner parts, which had a
host of annoyances. Installation was time consuming and there are a lot of
little parts involved in the conversion. The H23 tensioner spring can come
off it’s post and get chewed up by the timing belt. And most importantly
the H23 tensioner pulley was larger which made installing the timing belt
a real pain!
CNC machined from billet aluminum with a hardened tension rod and jam nut.
The custom-made adjustment wrench included with each tensioner makes for
an easy, five minute installation during a timing belt change

 

Cost? Being that the h23 conversion is about $100 I hope it's competitive and not just "bling"

 

Is under a 100 call Reid

 

It's $99. 5 minute install once the belt is off. Instead of a box full of parts and a "how-to"... and the timing belt actually fits. It's really a no brainer.

 

Nice I'm sold

 

ANY PARTS FOR THE LONG TENSIONER BOLT?

 

Remove it. It's only there to tension the balance shaft belt idler pulley.

 

Very cool!!

 

cut and re tap

 

mine is on the way

 

recieved my tensioner today, along with my balance shaft delete kit, superb quality as ever.

thanks very much
Adam

 

do u still use the h23 pulley? any installed pics?

 

not installed yet, the KS tensioner just replaces the oil filled stock one, then adjust and lock with the nut and lock nut, this cannot fail like the oil ones,

 

This is on my grocery list. Awesome part
