Galant ES L4-2350cc 2.4L SOHC MFI (1997)
Timing Belt: Adjustments
Timing Belt "A" (Camshaft)
1. After turning the crankshaft 1/4 of a revolution in the counterclockwise direction, turn it in the clockwise direction until the timing marks are
aligned.
2. Loosen the tension pulley fixing bolt, and then use the tensioner pulley wrench tool No. MD998767, or equivalent, and a torque wrench to tighten
the fixing bolt to 3.5 Nm (2.6 ft. lbs.) while applying tension to the timing belt.
NOTE: When tightening the fixing bolt, make sure that the tension pulley does not turn with the bolt.
3. Turn the crankshaft two revolutions in the clockwise direction so that the timing marks are aligned. After leaving it for 15 minutes, measure the
amount of protrusion of the auto tensioner. The standard value (A) is 3.8 - 4.5 mm (0.150 - 0.177 inch).
4. If the amount of protrusion is outside the standard value, repeat the operation in step Nos. 1, 2 and 3.
5. Check again to be sure that the timing marks of each sprocket are aligned.
6. Install the bolts, being careful not to mistake the bolt sizes.
