H22 Auto-Tensioner's can burn in hell

[JRSC00LUDE]

Had full timing belt service done at 86,000 km due to failing autotensioner (warranty at least), now at 111Km I have to do it again because of failing autotensioner. :guns:

This time doing the H23 manual tensioner swap......look out 5gen'ers or it'll get you too! If you're doing a timing belt job, do the manual tensioner swap to avoid doing it two or three unncessary times.

Edit - Here's a link with good instructions on the how-to:

Totally understand how you feel, mine failed 6 times in a couple months under boost and finally did the conversion. Auto tension blows

^werd. That is probably the best upgrade you can do for the h22a4. I'm glad I didn't have to trek down that road....

I'm just glad I noticed the sound before I bent my valves over.

I was boosted for over 40k without a problem with the auto tensioner. I went manual anyway though.
