I have heard that you can use the H23 manual timing belt tensior on the H22...if so is there any fabricating involved?

 

I was curious....what's the benefit of using the H23 manual tensioner??? I ahve an extra one and I am wondering if I should put it on my H22 before it is installed.

Thanks

 

no fabricating.all bolt in.

 

I have went through 2 auto tensioners from Honda....and the first time I put it on myself and the belt started to roar after about a month...so I ended up letting Honda put it on and it only lasted about 3 months and the tensioner has gone bad again. Whether it's because of my cam gears or hell for just being boosted I am trying something different and I have looked at the H23 tensioner and it looks like it would just bolt right up. They say the tensioner on the H23 will never go out and it's manual and not self-adjusting. So it's worth a shot. I appreciate the info aeolus.

 

how much does a h23 manual tensioner go for? im looking to get one since im about to replace my timing belt.

 

The last 3 new auto tensioners we have used broke....all in chronological order. We've been converting all H22s to the H23 setup for a while. There are a handfull of parts you will need to do it correctly, but it's worth it, as it will allow for easy timing belt tensioning like the H23. If anyone's interested, I'll dig up the part numbers when I get a chance.

 

yeah im really interested. let me know what the part numbers are.

 

Same here....I thought it would be just a easy bolt on ...but if there are more parts involved please..

 

Yea, post up the part numbers. I have a few friends that want to do this and I'd like to learn how to do it.

 

Again, what's the purpose of doing this??

 

from what i hear the auto tensioners dont tension as much as they should causeing the timming belt come loose or jump teeth

i think ??? fill me in guys

 

offer me a good price for one cause i have two...let me know

 

Here ya go:
SP014510PT0004
SP014516PT2000
SP090014P14A00
SP090015PT0000
SP090016PT0000
SP090140P14A00
SP013404PT0004

Should add up to ~$160 or so (retail), about the same price as the auto tensioners.

 

anyone who runs there car at the track or has mods done should consider doing this.... I had it done to mine as well.

 

I also just found that auto-tensioner was the cause of my engine failure. The piston is stuck about as far into it as it will go, and does not push back out as it should. Thanks for the part #'s. Is there anything to consider when installing the manual one?

 

Does anyone have pics of these parts? I have a couple of the parts just need to find out exactly which ones i need. TIA
