Timing Belt - Installation

INSTALLATION

Special Tools:










1. If removed, install the (10276) (1) with three bolts (3) tightened to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) and one bolt (2) tightened to 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.).





2. If removed, install the (10277) (1) to the rear of the camshaft. Install three bolts (2) and tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).





3. Use the (6847) (2) to hold the camshaft sprocket (3) and loosen the bolt (1). The camshaft sprocket (3) should now be free to rotate on the camshaft.






NOTE: If the original timing belt (1) is being reused, install the belt so that it maintains the same direction of rotation as when it was removed.

4. Install the timing belt starting with the crankshaft sprocket, then the water pump sprocket, finishing with the camshaft sprocket.
5. Install the timing belt tensioner (1) and adjust the tensioner so that the silver tab (2) is centered in the middle of the window. Tighten the lock nut (3) to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).





6. Use the (6847) (2) to hold the camshaft sprocket (3) and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt (1) to 120 Nm (88 ft. lbs.).





7. Remove the (10277) and the (10276).
8. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise at least two complete revolutions to center the timing belt on the sprockets.
9. Verify that the silver tab (2) is still centered in the middle of the window. If required, loosen the tensioner lock nut (3), readjust the timing belt tensioner (2) and tighten the lock nut (3) to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).






NOTE: Reinstall the timing locking tools to verify correct camshaft timing.

10. Install the (10277) (1) to the rear of the camshaft. Install three bolts (2) and tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).





11. Install the (10276) (1) with three bolts (3) tightened to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) and one bolt (2) tightened to 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.).

NOTE: If the bolt (2) does not align with the lower timing belt cover mounting boss, the camshaft timing is not correct. Loosen the tensioner lock nut and the camshaft sprocket bolt and repeat this procedure.






12. Remove the (10277) and the (10276).
13. Install the lower timing belt cover (1) with bolt (2) tightened to 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.).





14. Install the RH engine mount bracket (1) with six bolts (2) tightened to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).





15. Install the upper timing belt cover (1) with two bolts (2 and 3) tightened to 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.).





16. Install the RH engine mount isolator (3) and support bracket (1) to the engine mount bracket with three bolts. Tighten the isolator to engine bracket bolts in the sequence shown to 60 Nm (44 ft. lbs.).
17. Install the RH engine mount isolator (3) to the body with three bolts (2). Tighten the isolator to body bolts (2) to 60 Nm (44 ft. lbs.).





18. Install the pressurized coolant bottle (5) Coolant Recovery Bottle - Installation.





19. Raise and support the vehicle Maintenance.
20. Install the vibration damper (1) Vibration Damper - Installation.





21. Install the accessory drive belt (4) Serpentine Accessory Drive Belt - Installation.





22. Install the frame splash shield (3) with three screws (1).
23. Install two screws (2) to the front wheelhouse splash shield.
24. Install the right vertical brace (5) with two bolts (4) tightened to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.).





25. Install the right front wheel and tire assembly Tires And Wheels - Installation.





26. Raise and support the vehicle Maintenance.
27. Install the tunnel support brace (2) with four bolts (1) tightened to 90 Nm (60 ft. lb.).





28. If equipped with a manual transmission, install the rear engine mount isolator (7) to the transmission with the rear engine mount bracket bolt (3) and nut (6) tightened to 80 Nm (59 ft. lbs.) and tighten the isolator bolt (1) to 130 Nm (96 ft. lbs.).





29. If equipped with an automatic transmission, install the rear engine mount isolator (5) in the bracket (3) with two bolts (4) tighten to 60 Nm (44 ft. lbs.). Install the isolator bolt (1) and tighten to 130 Nm (96 ft. lbs.).





30. Install the belly pan Belly Pan - Installation.





31. Lower the vehicle.
32. Connect the fuel vapor purge hose (3) to the intake manifold.
33. Connect the fuel line (2) to the fuel rail and close the hose retainer (1)Service and Repair.





34. Install the vacuum pump (1) Vacuum Pump - Installation.





35. Install the oil separator housing (4) to the cylinder head cover with three bolts (2) tightened to 13 Nm (115 in. lbs.).
36. Connect the vent hose (3) to the oil filler neck.
37. Connect the PCV hose (1) to the intake manifold.





38. Install the air cleaner body (6) Air Cleaner Body - Installation.





39. Connect the negative battery cable. Tighten nut to 5 Nm (45 in. lb.).
40. Install the engine cover (1).
41. Start and run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Check cooling system for correct fluid level Service and Repair.

NOTE: The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn procedure must be performed using the scan tool anytime there has been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors or components PCM/ECM Reprogramming .
