19. REMOVE TIMING BELT NO. 1 COVER

(a) Remove the 4 bolts and timing belt cover.
20. REMOVE NO. 1 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE

(a) Remove the No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate.
21. REMOVE TIMING BELT

(a) If reusing the timing belt, check the installation marks on the timing belt.
(1) Check that there are 3 installation marks on the timing belt by turning the crankshaft as shown in the illustration.
If the installation marks have disappeared, put a new installation mark on the timing belt before removing each part.
(b) Set the No. 1 cylinder to approx. 50° BTDC/compression.

(1) Using the crankshaft damper bolt, turn the crankshaft to align the timing marks of the crankshaft timing pulley and oil pump body.

(2) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and timing belt plates are aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 complete revolution (360°).

(3) Using the crankshaft damper bolt, turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approx. 50°.

NOTE: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at a wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when removing the camshaft timing pulley and camshaft, causing damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.

(d) Using a SST, loosen the tension between the camshaft timing pulley (RH bank) and crankshaft timing pulley by turning the camshaft timing pulley (RH bank) counterclockwise slightly.
SST: 09960-10010
09962-01000
09963-00350
(e) Disconnect the timing belt from the No. 1 timing belt idler and remove the timing belt.
