B8.
Lift the tensioner pulley in the direction of arrow and tighten the center bolt (Figure 13).
NOTE:
MAKE SURE ALL TIMING MARKS ARE PROPERLY ALIGNED.
B9.
2.0L ENGINE ONLY: Remove the screwdriver from the balance shaft hole and install the plug.
B10.
Remove the two clips holding the belt to the camshaft sprockets. Rotate the crankshaft a 1/4 turn counterclockwise, then rotate it clockwise
until the timing marks are aligned again. Crankshaft position should still be at the No. 1 piston TDC position of the compression stroke.
NOTE:
MAKE SURE ALL TIMING MARKS ARE PROPERLY ALIGNED.
B11.
Loosen the tensioner pulley center bolt, attach special tool no. MD998752 (or MD998767) and apply 2.7 N-m (24 in.lbs.) torque to pulley
(with beam type torque wrench) as shown in Figure 14. WITH TORQUE APPLIED TO THE TENSIONER PULLEY, tighten the attaching
bolt, then torque to 49-16 N-m (36 +/- 4 ft.lbs.).
Caution:
Failure to follow this procedure will cause the belt tension to exceed the range of the auto tensioner limits and result in premature timing belt
failure or jumping.
Note:
If the vehicle body interferes with the special tool and the torque wrench, raise the engine up slightly until there is adequate clearance.
B12.
SLOWLY rotate the special tool no. MD998738 until it makes contact with the tensioner arm and remove the alien wrench from the auto
tensioner.
