Timing Belt Removal
Installation Notes:
Tensioner, tensioner spring:
1. Install the tensioner and the tensioner spring.
2. Protect the tensioner with a rag. Pry the tensioner outward with a bar.
3. 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.
Caution:
- For intake side, align the E mark.
- For exhaust side, align the I mark.
3. Install the timing belt so that there is no looseness at the idler side or between the two 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.
Caution: Do not turn the crankshaft counterclockwise.
6. Verify that the camshaft pulley marks are again aligned with the seal plate marks. If not aligned, remove the timing belt and repeat from tensioner installation.
7. Turn the crankshaft 1 and 5/6 turns clockwise, and align the timing belt pulley mark with the tension set mark for proper timing belt tension adjustment.
8. Using the SST, loosen the pulley lock bolt and remove the bolt and pulley boss. Do not turn the crankshaft.
9. Verify that the timing belt pulley mark is aligned with the tension set mark.
10. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply spring tension to the timing belt.
11. Tighten the tensioner lock bolt.
Tightening torque: 38 - 51 Nm (3.8 - 5.3 kgf-m, 28 - 38 ft lb)
12. Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt.
13. Turn the crankshaft 2 and 1/6 turns clockwise and verify that the timing marks are correctly aligned.
14. Measure the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) midway between the camshaft pulleys. If the deflection is not correct, repeat from Step 10 above.
Deflection: 9.0 - 11.5 mm (0.38 - 0.45 in) at 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf)
Pulley lock bolt:
- Hold the crankshaft with the SST and tighten the pulley lock bolt.
Tightening torque: 157 - 166 Nm (16 - 17 kgf-m, 116 - 122 ft lb)
Steps After Installation:
1. Fill the radiator with specified amount and type of engine coolant.
2. Connect the negative battery cable.
3. Start the engine and check, and if necessary, adjust the ignition timing.
