Reciently my h22a's auto tensioner went out. Which caused it to make a loud noise when I let off the gas anything higher than 3.5k and it will stop at around 2k. I got the auto tensioner replaced with a manual tensioner and the noise was completely gone till I drove it on the freeway. The noise is much more quieter but it is still there.
I adjusted the tension on the manual tensioner by:

1) removing the valve cover
2) setting the engine at TDC
3) loosening and tightining the adjuster nut
4) turning the crankshaft 3 teeth counter-clockwise
5) loosening and tightining the adjuster nut.

After doing this I still notice the sound.

I've already adjusted it 4 times and during some of those times, it will go away for a few minutes and come right back. Is it that the manual tensioner doesent hold it's tension?

PLEASE, help a brother out.

 

from what you say it sounds like the tensioner.
when you chaged it did you renew the cam belt, if not it may have streched a bit.

Sorry, I have don't know what the belt is located. The only belts replaced were the timing and the balancer belts.

 

Cam belt=timing belt. After installation and tension is set, the belt may stretch some and require more tension to stop the noise

I've done it 4 times already. It seems that it is starting to get worse.
