Timing Belt Removal
Installation Notes:
Timing belt auto tensioner:
a. Set a flat washer under the tensioner body to prevent damage to the body plug.
b. Slowly press in the tensioner rod by using a press or a vise.
Caution: Do not press the tensioner rod to more than 9,807 N (1,000 kgf, 2,200 lbf).
c. Insert a pin into the second hole in the body as shown to hold the tensioners rod.
Pin diameter: 1.6 mm (0.063 in)
d. Set the tensioner in place and snugly tighten the tensioner upper bolt.
Note: This must be done to reduce the timing belt tension when the idler pulley is installed.
Timing belt:
a. Turn the camshaft pulleys and align the timing marks of the camshaft pulleys with those of the cylinder heads.
b. Using the crankshaft bolt, turn the crankshaft and align the timing marks of the timing belt pulley and the oil pump.
c. Install the timing belt on the pulleys in the order shown below.
- Timing belt pulley
- Idler pulley No.2
- LH camshaft pulley
- Tensioner pulley
- RH camshaft pulley
Caution: Verify that the belt has no looseness at the tension side.
d. Install the No.1 idler pulley while applying pressure on the timing belt.
Caution: Do not damage the bolt threads when installing.
Tightening torque: 32-46 Nm (3.2-4.7 kgf-m, 24-33 ft lb)
e. Push the auto tensioner in the direction of the arrow and tighten the bolts.
Tightening torque: 19-25 Nm (1.9-2.6 kgf-m, 14-18 ft lb)
f. Remove the pin from the auto tensioner to apply tension to the belt.
g. Turn the crankshaft twice in the direction of rotation, and align the timing marks.
h. Verify that all timing marks are correctly aligned. If necessary, repeat the procedure beginning from installation of the timing belt auto tensioner.
i. Check the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) midway between the crankshaft pulley and the auto tensioner. If not correct, replace the auto tensioner.
Deflection: 6.0 - 8.0 mm (0.24 - 0.31 in)
Timing belt cover:
a. Install the right timing belt cover.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80-110 kgf-cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in lb )

Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80-110 kgf-cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in lb )
c. Install the crankshaft position sensor connector bracket on the left timing belt cover.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80-110 kgf-cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in lb)
d. Install the harness bracket on the right timing belt cover.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80-110 kgf-cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in lb)
e. Install the engine mount No. 3.
Tightening torque:
A: 74 - 102 Nm (7.5 - 10.5 kgf-m, 54.3 - 75.9 ft lb)
B: 86 - 116 Nm (8.7 - 11.9 kgf-m, 63.0 - 86.0 ft lb)
f. Remove the SST (engine support).
Oil dipstick and pipe:
a. Apply clean engine oil to a new Q-ring and install it on the pipe.
b. Remove the plug from the engine and install the pipe.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80 - 110 kgf-cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in lb)
c. Install the dipstick.
d. Install the crankshaft position sensor harness and clip to the dipstick pipe.
e. Connect the connector.
Crankshaft pulley:
a. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Install the crankshaft pulley and loosely tighten the bolt.
c. Mount the SST on the crankshaft pulley to hold the crankshaft.
d. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Tightening torque: 157 - 166 Nm (16.O - 17.O kgf-m, 116 - 122 ft lb)
P/S oil pump:
a. Install the P/S oil pump.
Tightening torque:
A: 32 - 46 Nm (3.2 - 4.7 kgf-m, 24 - 33 ft lb)
B: 19 - 25 Nm (1.9 - 2.6 kgf-m, 14 - 18 ft lb)
b. Install the P/S oil pump pulley and loosely tighten the pulley nut.
c. Tighten the pulley nut by using a 12mm (O.47 in) socket on one of the P/S oil pump mount bolts.
Tightening torque: 63 - 93 Nm (6.4 - 9.5 kgf-m, 47 - 68 ft lb)
d. Install the P/S oil reservoir and the engine ground.
Tightening torque: 6.87 - 9.80 Nm (70 - 100 kgf-m, 60.8 - 86.8 in lb)
Drive belt:
a. Install the water pump pulley and loosely tighten the bolts.
b. Install the P/S idler pulley.
c. Install the P/S oil pump and water pump drive belt on the pulleys, and install the P/S idler pulley.
d. Adjust the drive belt deflection.
e. Tighten the water pump pulley bolts.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80 - 110 kgf-cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in lb)
f. Install the A/C compressor drive belt on the pulleys, and adjust the belt deflection.
Steps After Installation:
- Fill the radiator and coolant reservoir with the specified amount and type of engine coolant.
- Perform the necessary engine adjustments.
