4. Check that punch mark on crankshaft timing belt pulley is aligned with arrow mark on oil pump case. If not, align two marks by turning crankshaft
but be careful not to turn it more than its allowable turning range.
5. With two sets of marks aligned, install timing belt on two pulleys in such a way that the drive side of belt is free of any slack, and with tensioner
plate pushed up by finger. And then install tensioner spring and spring damper as shown in figure, and hand tighten tensioner stud.
NOTE:
-
When installing timing belt, match arrow mark (-->) on timing belt with rotating direction of crankshaft.
-
In this state, No.4 piston is at top dead center of compression stroke.
6. To take up slack of timing belt, turn crankshaft two rotations clockwise after installing it. After making sure that belt is free from slack, tighten
tensioner stud first and then tensioner bolt to each specified torque.
Then confirm again that two sets of marks are aligned respectively.
Tightening Torque
(a): 9 - 12 Nm (7.0 - 8.5 ft. lbs.)
(b): 24 - 30 Nm (17.5 - 21.5 ft. lbs.)
