My buddy told me that on H22s, if swapped into a Civic, the autotentioner will mess up the valvetrain pretty bad unless you switch it over to a manual one. Anybody else heard this? Ive never heard it before, and with something thats this big of an issue, youd think you would hear people being warned...

 

it being in a civic wont matter, but those autotensioners are crap. I would convert it over to a manual one anyway. the auto ones are really eas to screw up, and if it fails, its time for a full valve job.[&:]
