Timing Belt Installation

TIMING BELT ASSEMBLY





1. Assemble in the order indicated in the table.

Timing Belt Pulley and Key Assembly Note





1. Insert the key into the timing belt pulley, facing the tapered side downward. Push the key until it stops.

Tensioner and Tensioner Spring Assembly Note





1. Install the tensioner spring so that the chamfer of dumping rubber faces the right side as shown.
2. Push the tensioner in the direction of the arrow and hand-tighten the lock bolt.

Timing Belt Assembly Note





1. Verify that all timing marks are correctly aligned.

Pulley Boss Assembly Note





1. Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt. Turn the crankshaft clockwise 1 and 5/6 times, and verify that the timing mark and the tension set mark A are aligned.
2. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply tension to the timing belt. Do not apply tension other than that of the tensioner spring.





3. Tighten the tensioner lock bolt.





4. Turn the crankshaft clockwise 2 and 1/6 times, and verify that all timing marks are correctly aligned.

Note: For the crankshaft side, face the locating pin on the pulley boss straight up.

5. Inspect for the belt deflection at the point indicated by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbs.).
Timing belt deflection 8.5 - 11.5 mm (0.34 - 0.45 inch)





6. If the timing belt deflection is not as specified, remove the timing belt and repeat from Timing Belt Assembly Note Step 1.





7. Hold the crankshaft using the SST.

Timing Belt Cover Assembly Note





1. Tighten the cylinder head cover bolts in two or three steps in the order shown.

Crankshaft Pulley Assembly Note





1. Hold the crankshaft using the SST.

Cylinder Head Cover Assembly Note
1. Verify that the grooves on the cylinder head cover are free of oil, waters and other foreign material.
2. Install the cylinder head cover gasket into the cylinder head cover.





3. Apply silicone sealant to the cylinder head as shown.





4. Hand-tighten the cylinder head cover bolt A as shown.

Caution: Be careful not to damage the OCV adapter O-ring on the camshaft cap when Installing the OCV case. Failure to do so may cause loss of oil pressure.





5. Tighten the cylinder head cover bolts in two or three steps in the order shown.

OCV Case Assembly Note
1. Install the OCV case gasket onto the cylinder head cover.





2. Tighten the OCV case bolts in two or three steps in the order shown.

Caution: Be careful not to damage the OCV adapter O-ring on the camshaft cap when Installing the OCV case. Failure to do so may cause loss of oil pressure.

Oil Pipe Assembly Note

Caution: When Installing the oil pipe, be sure to perform the following steps, and make sure each connection does bear a load. Failure to do so may cause oil leakage.





1. Hold the frame of the OCV filter and install it to the end of the oil pipe flange.
2. Apply engine oil to new washers.
3. Temporarily install upper and side oil pipes and position the oil pipe.





4. Tighten the oil pipe bolts for several times in the numerical order shown in the figure.





5. Loosely tighten the oil pipe bolt A as shown.
Tightening torque 2.9 - 6.9 Nm (30 - 70 kgf-cm, 26 - 60 inch lbs.)
6. Loosely tighten the oil pipe bolt B as shown.
Tightening torque 11.8 - 17.6 Nm (120 - 178 kgf-cm, 105 - 154 inch lbs.)





7. Tighten the oil pipe bolts in two or three steps in the order shown.
