After installing the timing belt, apply force to turn the camshaft sprocket in the reverse direction, then recheck to be sure that the belt is fully
tensioner and that each timing mark is in the proper position.

Set timing belt tension as follows:
a. Loosen the fixing bolt of the tensioner pulley fixed to the engine mount side by 1/4-1/2 turn and use the force of the tensioner spring to apply
tension to the belt.
b. Turn the crankshaft in the proper rotation direction (right turn) for two rotations and recheck to be sure that the timing marks on each sprocket
are aligned.
