4. Turn the crankshaft two turns clockwise, and face the pin on the pulley boss up-right.
5. Verify that the camshaft pulley marks are aligned with the cylinder head cover marks. If not aligned, remove the timing belt and repeat from
tensioner installation.
6. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply tension to the timing belt.
Caution: Be sure not to apply tension other than that of the tensioner spring.
7. Tighten the tensioner lock bolt.
Tightening torque: 19 - 25 Nm (1.9 - 2.6 m-kg, 14 - 19 ft lb)
8. Turn the crankshaft 2 turns clockwise and verify that the marks are correctly aligned.
9. Check the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure (98N, 10kg, 22 lb) midway between the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft
pulley. If the timing belt deflection is not correct, temporarily secure tensioner lock bolt so the spring is fully extended and repeat steps 4-8
above or replace the tensioner spring.
Deflection: 11 - 13 mm (0.43 - 0.51 in) at 98N (10kg, 22 lb)
10. Remove the pulley lock bolt and pulley boss using the SST.
