ya i saw you too...man that things looks killer.

status:
well the tensior is givin me issues...
basically that lil nudge to hold it while you position the tensioner before tightening that 14mm is not on the new h23:

new h23:

old h23:


anyone know the reason for the differences?
also I noticed that the exhaust studs were missing 5, so I gotta get some now. and I need to grind the black for the dsm setup.

besides that shit...I painted this block red...
I think it just needed some character.

new one looks good, but looks more orange then red. Whens it going in?

[ONEKLEAN91]

Man when you drove past me on 235 that h22 and that exhaust sounds so good on your coupe

Steve, this is what you need.
90014-P14-A00 - BOLT, TIMING BELT ADJUSTER BASE


And sorry I didn't answer your text. My phone is *** since I haven't paid my bill. I can recieve texts/calls, but cannot return/reply.

[drummersteve7]

how crucial is this piece?

I took a 10mm bolt and locked the tensioner down...it is extremely tight.
the belt feels good and I have rotated to make sure it wasnt guna budge.

should I order the part or use MY method?

just curious...as the answer awaits, ending result of when the motor gets dropped in.

[d112crzy]

Not sure really. It's not like it shifts the belt or anything, just holds tension and I don't think it really matter WHERE it holds tension.

Put some loctite on the bolt and drop it in, I say.
