couple H22 questions
1) whats the difference between a H22a1 and the H22 type-s, i have a feeling its just the red valve cover and different cams, but i would like to know for sure.
also
2)I read in the latest modified mag that the timing belt tensioner on H22s fail fairly often, is this true, and if so is there a aftermarket one you can buy that isnt likely to break.
thanks

RE: couple H22 questions
1) Different ignition setup at the distributor (internal vs. external coil), 50mm mains (h22a1) vs 55mm mains (type-s), compression and pistons10.6:1 (a1) vs. 11:1 (type-s), cams (type-s has more aggressive).
2) Many switch to the H23 tensioner. There is a write up on how to do it on Honda-Tech.com

what makes the Type S so beastly are the higher compression cams and pistons as previously mentioned as well as the factory port and polish. you can get a regular h22 and do all that stuff for cheaper than buying a Type S.

h22a1 = obdI
h22a4 = obdII
h22a S = obdII
Auto tensioners are what h22's use for adjusting the tension in the timing belt. People take them out when they decide to build their motor as they have been known to fail but for regular applications they work just fine. If you do decide to "upgrade" the tensioner than you can go with an h23 manual belt tensioner conversion.

i dont think i have enough knowledge to install it myself, i could probably physically get it in, but not wire it up.
and it costs more to have it installed than the engine costs.
think i might just have to bite the bullet and pay the money for someone to install it.
