REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Do not replace the timing belt because it has oil on it from the auto-tensioner or because you see belt dust after removing the engine upper covers.
Residual oil from the auto-tensioner and dust from minor belt contact with the inner edge of the camshaft pulleys does not affect timing belt
performance.
