okay i have put the new manual tensioner on my h22 and i am installing a new timing belt. My question is will the timing marks on the cams be exact. I was wondering because i heard they might be of just a bit i just wanna be sure. Also i dont know how to post pics on here i was wondering if i could email someone some pics of the maual tensioner install and see if they see anything wrong because i couldnt really get it real loose it was a struggle to get the timing belt on and now the cam marks arent exact and the belt seems to have some slack in it. Thanks for any help

 

The marks will line up properly if you use the H22 belt. The belt is a tight fit.

 

thanks man your write up was one of the ones i used to help me with the install. Its just that the intake cam is off like a tiny amount. Im a little worried about that

 

So buy a set of adjustable cam gears!

 

ive got adjustable cam gears....whats your point wont the timing still be off..

 

It took my 3 tries to get mine right the 1st time, and it's a lot easier to adjust the belt once it's on the crank pulley. Try loosening your valves and the damn cam gear won't have so much resistance. Then just put the 5mm punches in the cams, line up the flywheel, and you should be good...
