I have a fresh built h22 skunk cam gears oem timing belt and i am in the brake in period on my engine so i went to adjust my valves and found my timing belt was half as thick as it was due to it rubbing on the valve cover. Any one have any ideas?

 

check your belt tensioner. it should be only like $12 if you need a new one from Honda. my $0.02...

 

did they put the balance shaft crank pulley back on?

It's more like 40-60 depending on where you go. (auto tensioner for h22)

 

The tensioner bearing pivots on a special bolt that screws into the water pump. That bolt is probably bent slightly.

 

i paid over 90 for my mine

 

my balance belt is still on but i did have a hell of a time with the autotensioner but i did order all h23 parts to fix that up. Is there anywere i could go for an outline on the install of those manual tensioner parts ive searched every were but have only found part #s

 

Also check to make sure that the spacer between the crank and the timing gear. If that spacer is not in there it will cause the belt to rub on the balancer gear.
