Ok I know about the auto to manual timing tensioner conversion but b4 I knew about it I changed my auto timing tensioner 3 times. My motor is a 97 H22 and I have Built the bottom end with pistons rods and iron sleeves the head has been ported new springs and retainers stock cams. I replaced the auto tensioner 3 times with the supposedly updated part. Talked to my local Honda dealer and they say they dont know what would cause this part to fail so many times so I ask fellow onliners for some advice. As of now I am doing the auto to manual conversion.

you are doing the auto to manual tranny conversion? or auto to manual tensioner conversion? I have a bone stock car but Im into reliability so I converted my auto tensioner to manual when i did the water pump and the timing belt(s)
