Hi and welcome.
As others have said, sounds like you've got a nice little base of modified bits to work with there.
There's no problem with auto tensioners.
PDE head has some benefits over the stock prelude head, but only if you're also swapping the manifold etc at the same time. The biggest benefit you'll get is from the a7 cams - if they're still in that head? You can swap them into your standard head without swapping the heads over, if you'd prefer.

The intake manifold i have is from a CL1 i think, the block is H22A and the head is from the original H22A8 that came in the car.
Il only drop an ATR head in if it makes sense. I already have to do a timing belt and swap the intake manifold so im not far off removing the whole head, means i can do the stem seals, head gasket etc too.
The engine work wont come til a later date, going to focus on cleaning it up first, then sorting the whole braking system.

Got some stuff i need turning up in the next few days so im hoping to have most of it back together by the end of next week. Ive just taken my Accord to my lock up so i can strip the front calipers off it for the Prelude and buy a rebuild kit for them too.

Still needing a rocker cover stud is someone has one available?
