Timing Belt Installation
Torque Specifications
Idler
Install the idler.
Tightening torque:
38-01 Nm {3.8-O.3 kgf-m, 28-38 ft-lbf}
Tensioner and Tensioner Spring
1. Install the tensioner and the tensioner spring.
2. Temporarily secure the tensioner with the spring fully extended.
Timing Belt
1. Verify that the timing belt pulley mark is aligned with the timing mark.
2. Verify that the camshaft pulley marks are aligned with the seal plate marks.
3. Install the timing belt so that there is no looseness at the idler side or between the camshaft pulleys.
4. Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt.
5. Turn the crankshaft two turns clockwise and face the pin on the pulley boss upright. Do not turn the crankshaft counterclockwise.
6. Verify that the camshaft pulley marks are aligned with the seal plate marks. If not, remove the timing belt and repeat from tensioner installation.
7. Turn the camshaft 1 and 5/6 turns and align the timing belt pulley mark with the tension set mark for proper timing belt tension adjustment.
8. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply tensioner to the timing belt.
9. Tighten the tensioner lock bolt.
Tightening torque:
38-61 Nm {3.8-6.3 kgf-m, 28-38 ft-lbf}
10. Turn the crankshaft 2 and 1/6 turns and verify that the timing marks are correctly aligned.
11. Measure the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure 98 N {1 0 kgf, 22 Ibf} midway between the camshaft pulleys. If the deflection is not correct, repeat from step 8 above.
Deflection: 9.5-11.5mm {0.37-O.45 in}
Timing Belt Cover
Install the lower, middle, and upper timing belt covers.
Tightening torque:
7.9-10.7 Nm {80-110 kgf-cm, 70-95.4 in-lbf}
Crankshaft Pulley
1. Install the crankshaft pulley.
2. Install the plate and tighten the bolts.
Tightening torque:
12.3-17.1 Nm {1.25-1.75 kgf�m, 9.05-12.6 ft-lbf}
Water Pump Pulley
Install the water pump pulley and tighten the bolts.
Tightening torque:
7.9-10.7 Nm {80-110 kgf-cm, 70-95.4 in-lbf}
Cylinder Head Cover
1. Apply silicone sealant to the shaded areas as shown.
2. Install the cylinder head cover.
Tightening torque:
5.0-8.8 Nm {50-90 kgf-cm, 44-78 in-lbf}
