DESCRIPTION
During normal operation, the timing belt moves toward the front of the engine and in some cases may contact the timing belt guide plate. This can cause
a squeaky noise at idle after the engine is warmed up.
To correct the problem, the timing belt guide plate has been modified as shown. As you can see, the modified configuration is two (2) pieces.
If you encounter the squeak noise around the front of the engine, follow the checking procedure in this Service Bulletin.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the upper timing belt cover.
