Feature:
The stock H22 automatic Tensioner (also called a hydro tensioner )is known for premature failure, causing bent valves at the least.Our H22 Timing Tensioner fixes that problem and eliminates the need for an H23 manual tensioner conversion.Simply remove two bolts and install our billet H22 Timing Tensioner.
HOW TO INSTALL?
Step 1: Install tensioner
Our tensioner was bolted where it was from the old factory, the tensioner was bolted to the block, the adjuster was lowered all the way down and slotted into the rest of the timing assembly.
Step 2: Insert Belt and Adjust Tension
All timing marks are arranged in the cam and crank side, slowly tighten the manual adjuster to tension the belt while observing the timing marks. Do not over tighten the belt.
Step 3: Tighten Lock Nut
Push the adjuster onto the timing belt bearing arm until it just touches the top of the adjusting nut. Turn the nut on the manual tensioner until there is a defect of approximately 1/4 “inch on both sides of the belt. Turn the crank by hand to ensure that all timing marks are still aligned.
