Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

CAUTION: Incorrect removal or installation of the timing belt can result in damage to internal engine components.

For complete Timing Belt Removal and Installation information, please refer to Timing Belt; Service and Repair. Service and Repair







IF RE-USING TIMING BELT, CHECK INSTALLATION MARKS ON TIMING BELT
Check that there are 3 installation marks on the timing belt as turning the crankshaft pulley as shown in the illustration.

HINT: If the installation marks are disappeared, place a new installation mark on the timing belt before removing each part.

SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION





a. Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark "0" of the No.1 timing belt cover.





b. Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and that of the timing belt rear plates aligned. If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
c. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.

NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft pulley.






TEMPORARILY INSTALL TIMING BELT

NOTICE: The engine should be cold.

a. Remove any oil or water on and clean the crankshaft pulley, the oil pump pulley, the water pump pulley, the No.1 idler pulley and the No.2 idler pulley.

NOTICE: Only wipe the pulleys; do not use any cleansing agent.

b. Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley.
c. Install the timing belt on the crankshaft timing pulley, the No.1 idler pulley and the No.2 idler pulley.

TIMING BELT COVER SPACER
a. Install the gasket to the cover spacer.
b. Install the cover spacer.





TIMING BELT GUIDE
Install the belt guide, facing the cup side outward.

NO.1 TIMING BELT COVER
Install the timing belt cover with the 4 bolts.

CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
a. Align the pulley set key with the key groove of the crankshaft pulley.





b. Using SST and a hammer, tap in the crankshaft pulley.
SST 09223-46011





CHECK CRANKSHAFT PULLEY POSITION
Check that the timing mark of the crankshaft pulley is aligned with timing mark "0" of the No.1 timing belt cover.

RH, LH CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEYS
a. Align the camshaft knock pin with the knock pin groove of the timing pulley, and slide on the timing pulley.





b. Using SST, install the pulley bolt.
SST 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-01000)
Torque: 108 Nm (1,100 kgf-cm, 80 ft. lbs.)

CONNECT TIMING BELT TO LH CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEY





a. Remove any oil or water on the LH camshaft timing pulley, and clean it up.

NOTICE: Only wipe the pulleys; do not use any cleansing agent.





b. Turn the LH camshaft timing pulley. Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the timing mark of the camshaft timing pulley, and hang the timing belt on the LH camshaft timing pulley.
c. Turn the LH camshaft timing pulley counterclockwise until there is tension between the crankshaft timing pulley and the LH camshaft timing pulley.





CONNECT TIMING BELT TO RH CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEY
a. Remove any oil or water on the RH camshaft timing pulley and water pump pulley, and clean them up.

NOTICE: Only wipe the pulleys; do not use any cleansing agent.

b. Turn the RH camshaft timing pulley. Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the timing mark of the camshaft timing pulley, and hang the timing belt on the RH camshaft timing pulley.





SET TIMING BELT TENSIONER
a. Using a press, slowly press in the push rod using 981 - 9,807 N (100 - 1,000 kgf, 220 - 2,205 lbs.) of pressure.
b. Align the holes of the push rod and the housing, pass a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) hexagon wrench through the holes to keep the setting position of the push rod.
c. Release the press.
d. Install the dust boot to the belt tensioner.





TIMING BELT TENSIONER
a. Temporarily install the belt tensioner with the 2 bolts.
b. Alternately tighten the 2 bolts.
Torque: 26 Nm (270 kgf-cm, 19 ft. lbs.)
c. Using pliers, remove the 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) hexagon wrench from the belt tensioner.

CHECK VALVE TIMING





a. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Slowly turn the crankshaft pulley 2 revolutions from TDC to TDC.
NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise.





c. Check that each pulley aligns with the timing marks as shown in the illustration. If the timing marks do not align, remove the timing belt and reinstall it.
