PT Cruiser L4-2.4L Turbo VIN G (2004)
CAUTION: Ensure that the arrows on both camshaft sprockets are facing up.
3. Install timing belt. Starting at the crankshaft, go around the water pump sprocket, idler pulley, camshaft sprockets and then around the tensioner.
4. Move the exhaust camshaft sprocket counterclockwise to align marks and take up belt slack.
5. Insert a 6mm Allen wrench into the hexagon opening located on the top of the belt tensioner pulley. Rotate the top plate
COUNTERCLOCKWISE. The tensioner pulley will move against the belt and the tensioner setting notch will eventually start to move
clockwise. Watching the movement of the setting notch, continue rotating the top plate counterclockwise until the setting notch is aligned with the
spring tang. Using the Allen wrench to prevent the top plate from moving, torque the tensioner lock bolt to 25 Nm (220 in.lbs). Setting notch and
spring tang should remain aligned after lock bolt is torqued.
6. Remove Allen wrench and torque wrench.
NOTE: Repositioning the crankshaft to the TDC position must be done only during the CLOCKWISE rotation movement. If TDC is missed,
rotate a further two revolutions until TDC is achieved. DO NOT rotate crankshaft counterclockwise as this will make verification of proper
tensioner setting impossible.
7. Rotate the crankshaft CLOCKWISE two complete revolutions manually for seating of the belt, until the crankshaft is repositioned at the TDC
position. Verify that the camshaft and crankshaft timing marks are in proper position.
