INSTALLATION

Timing Marks Without Belt Installed:

1. Confirm that No.1 piston is set at T.D.C. on its compression stroke.

Timing Marks Viewed With Belt Installed:

2. Install tensioner and tensioner spring.

Whenever the stud is replaced apply sealant to the threads before installation.

Retracting Spring Tensioner:

3. Turn tensioner fully outward with hexagon wrench and temporarily tighten lock nut.

Timing Marks Without Belt Installed:

4. Set timing belt.

(1) Align white lines on timing belt with punch-marks on camshaft sprockets and crankshaft sprocket.






(2) Point arrow on timing belt toward front belt cover.
5. Loosen tensioner lock nut, keeping tensioner steady with hexagon wrench.






6. Turn tensioner 70 to 80 degrees clockwise with hexagon wrench, and temporarily tighten lock nut.
7. Turn crankshaft clockwise at least 2 times, then slowly set No. 1 piston at T.D.C. on its compression stroke.

Setting Timing Belt Tension:

8. Push middle of timing belt between R.H. camshaft sprocket and tensioner pulley with force of 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb).
9. Loosen tensioner lock nut, keeping tensioner steady with hexagon wrench.






10. Set feeler gauge as shown in image which is 0.35 mm (0.0138 in) thick and 12.7 mm (0.500 in) wide.

Setting Timing Belt Tension:

11. Turn crankshaft clockwise and set feeler gauge as shown in image.
- Timing belt will move about 2.5 teeth.
12. Tighten tensioner lock nut, keeping tensioner steady with hexagon wrench.
13. Turn crankshaft clockwise or counterclockwise and remove feeler gauge.
14. Turn crankshaft clockwise at least 2 times, then slowly set No. 1 piston at T.D.C. on its compression stroke.

Timing Belt Cover Bolt Locations And ID:

15. Install upper and upper belt covers.
