Using Special Service Tool (SST), loosen the pulley bolt.
SST 09213 - 70010, 09330 - 00021
10. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO APPROXIMATELY 60°/BEFORE TOP DEAD CENTER (BTDC) COMPRESSION
a. Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with timing mark "0" of the No.1 timing belt cover.
NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
b. Check that the timing marks (Top Dead Center (TDC) mark) of the camshaft timing pulleys are aligned with the timing marks of the No.4
timing belt cover. If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
c. Turn the crankshaft pulley 60° counterclockwise to place the sub timing mark (60° mark BTDC) on the crankshaft pulley at the timing mark
"0" position of the No.1 timing belt cover.
NOTICE: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come
into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulleys (steps 12 to 17), thus resulting damage. So, always set the
crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
d. Check that the dot marks (60° mark BTDC) of the camshaft timing pulleys are aligned with the timing marks of the No.4 timing belt cover.
e. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft pulley.
