4th gen VTEC auto-tensioner
How serious is this issue? There's a '94 VTEC with 72k miles and had the timing belt/water pump done. Now, I have heard that the auto tensioner has been an issue with the VTEC's.. so how serious is it? What happens if the auto-tensioner malfunctions?
Also, any other problems with the VTEC that DIFFERS from the Si's problems? (I am familiar with all the Si issues) Thanks.

it's more likely to fail if you have an upgraded valvetrain.
i wouldn't worry about it unless that is the case
