This seems to be a hot topic for the H22 owners out there. Here is a step by step "how to" conversion to the more reliable H23 (manual) style of tensioner. The H22a block used, is obviously a "mock-up", so don't be critical of the missing pieces. This conversion can be done in the car, but in this case it was done out of the car for illustration purposes only.


Parts list:

13404-PT0-004 - ADJUSTER COMP., BALANCER BELT
13415-PT0-000 - BRACKET, BALANCER BELT ADJUSTER
14510-PT0-004 - ADJUSTER COMP., TIMING BELT
14516-PT2-000 - SPRING COMP., TIMING BELT ADJUSTER
14521-P14-A00 - PLATE, ADJUSTER
90014-P14-A00 - BOLT, TIMING BELT ADJUSTER BASE
90015-PT0-000 - BOLT, TIMING BELT ADJUSTER SPRING
90016-PT0-000 - BOLT, TIMING BELT ADJUSTER
90140-P14-A00 - WASHER, PLAIN (11MM)

Here is a link for the parts list:

http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto....%282%29

This is a frontal and side shot of what the auto tensioner set up looks like with the timing belt cover, balance shaft crank pulley, balance shaft belt, and timing belt out of the way.
All of these thing will need to be removed to do this conversion.



Start by removing the auto tensioner pieces. These following pictures should be fairly self explanitory.




These following pieces will be removed from the h22 in this step and set aside for later use.


With the parts removed this is what it looks like.


This step, we will remove the troubsome auto tensioner.


With the auto tesioner gone, we will remove the rest of the tensioner mechanism. The following pictures should be self explanatory.






Now, with the complete auto tesioner mechanism removed, we are ready to add the manual tensioner parts.


This bolt and washer are what we start with. The factory washer is critical! It has a larger diameter than the block casting. This is a factory Honda part #90140-P14-A00 - WASHER, PLAIN (11MM), but for those of you who are lazy or pinching pennies, the diameter is 40mm and the thickness is 1.5mm If the wrong washer is used, improper alignment can occure as well as limited movement of the timing belt tensioner pulley.




These 2 pieces will be added next.





Add the timing belt tensioner pulley and check to see if it has full movement on its pivot.





Next we will install the balance shaft tensioner pulley. For this install, we will re-use the H22 part. The H23 part has a larger spacer that places it further out away from the timing belt pulley. I recomend using the H23 part (not shown), but with a few washers (used as spacers) the H22 pulley (pictured) can be used correctly.




If you are reusing the H22 part, MAKE SURE THE PULLEYS CLEAR EACH OTHER! This is a common mistake and can be catastrophic. When reusing the h22 balance shaft tensioner pulley, the pulleys must not touch! if you are using a h23 balance shaft tensioner pulley, there is no need to worry. it is already spaced properly.


Reinstall the balance shaft tensioner retainer.


Manual style tensioner in place completely. front and side views.

i think you need to lay the blame elsewhere.

Scotts writeup has been used by many people without fail. maybe you just suck and shouldnt touch a wrench.

the conversion was done AFTER the problem, not before. Scotts write up was incredible, and this problem had NOTHING to do with his suggestions. I noticed that the auto tensioner fucked up, caused the belt to jump timing, and THAT is when I did the conversion. The damage was already done beforehand, and decided to convert it in order to put everything back together to do a compression test to see how bad the damage was from the auto tensioner failing.

be careful of what you say.

he has a business to run. stating things in that manner leads to mis conceptions. from reading the above, it sounds like you are blaming the manual conversion.

as for you wanting an apology, hell no. i do not apologize for reading something the way it was printed.

Fair enough...I did write that in a way that could easily have been misunderstood. His suggestion worked flawlessly, and to clarify again, it was not the conversion that did any damage. This conversion should prevent this from happening again.

As for the apology, it should be for being an dick. just cause I am a newbie to the forum does not mean that I am a newbie to hondas. Instead of trying to see what I can offer to fellow honda fans, you choose to be arrogant and **** away what could have ended up being a helpful resource in the future

thank you Mr. President

Search this page visually:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=689805
That is the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) thread at the top of the prelude forum. Read everything linked in that thread and then post questions. You'll notice that this exact auto-&gt;man tensioner write-up is located there.

Welcome to the board.

Sorry to hear about your FUBAR'd engine.

The conversion worked beautiful! I am pulling the head off today to see how far the damage goes. Oh well, at least it happened locally instead of on the freeway! ahhh, the life of performance

PirateMcFred, thanks for the welcome!

well, the damage wasn't NEARLY as bad as it could have been.....just ordered new Skunk2 valves (.5mm over) and new cams, but the pistons and cylinder walls are safe. Thank goodness! and now the wait begins

Um, 2point6 posted the same thread/pictures/write up here on Honda-Tech. You didn't have to register on Collectiveracing.net to get pictures or any other info... that is what my previous post directed Trinitymotors to...
