CAUTION:
-
As the purpose of this procedure is to apply the proper amount of tension on the timing belt, be sure not to rotate the crank shaft counter
clockwise or place pressure on the belt to check the amount of tension.
(7) Putting pressure clockwise on the tensioner (in the direction of the arrow) such that no portion of the belt raises out in portion A, place the belt on
the camshaft sprocket such that the belt sprocket teeth are fully engaged.
(8) Tighten the tensioner bolt and tensioner spacer, in that order.
CAUTION:
-
If the tensioner spacer is tightened first, the tensioner will rotate with it and belt tension be thrown out of adjustment. Always tighten the bolt
first.
(9) Check to see that the clearance between the outside of the belt and the cover are within the standard value by grasping the tension side (between
the camshaft sprocket and oil pump sprocket) of the center part of the timing belt between the thumb and index finger.
Standard value :14 mm (.55 in.)
