Timing Belt: Description and Operation

Timing belt




A conventional single toothed belt drives both camshafts and the coolant pump.

The camshaft timing gear pulley is secured with three screws in each camshaft. The screw holes are oval to ensure the correct location of the camshafts.

The timing belt tension is achieved using an automatic belt tensioner. The timing belt tensioner presses on the belt via a lever mounted pulley. The idler pulley on the other side of the belt prevents the belt from oscillating.
