Using an 8 mm hex socket wrench, turn toothed belt tensioner in direction of arrow until the tensioning lever pushes the tensioner together far
enough so that the T40011 pin can be inserted into the bore of the pistons and housing.

Notes:  
^

The toothed belt tensioner is oil-dampened. Compress it by slowly applying constant pressure.

^

Mark rotational direction of toothed belt. Reversing the direction in which it runs can ruin it.

-

Loosen bolt (arrow) of eccentric pulley.

-

Remove toothed belt.

Installing (adjusting valve timing)
Camshafts aligned using T40030 camshaft adjuster gauge
Crankshaft aligned using T40026 locking pin
Camshaft gears loosened.

Notes:  
^

Replace gaskets, O-rings and self-locking bolts.

^

When fuming camshaft, crankshaft must not be at TDC for any cylinder. Valves and/or pistons may be damaged.

-

Bolt in camshaft gears 1 to 4 far enough so they can still just be turned without canting.

-

Install toothed belt as depicted in illustration.
