Hey all,
I helped a friend put an H22 in his F-powered prelude, and shortly thereafter broke the timing belt. We found that the tensioner support bolt had broken, and have waited for a few parts to come in and crap, and so tonight we had everything and put in a new belt, bolt, and tensioner. We put it together and compression tested it and got 240-220-235-240, which doesn't seem too bad to me. Is there any reason he can't drive it? Is there something that I'm overlooking that could be wrong with the car still? I've never had a car that I worked on lose its timing belt, and so it's kinda new on me.
Lemme know what you guys think!
