1. Temporarily fasten timing belt tensioner in such position as to place it's pulley nearest to the coolant pump (pulley may touch coolant pump body)
2. After installing the tensioner, the crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprocket, match the timing mark of each sprocket as shown in the
illustration. Rotate the crankshaft until the No.1 cylinder is at top dead center on the compression stroke.
CAUTION:
1) Be sure to install the flange in the correct direction (Chamfered part shows front of engine).
2) When installing the camshaft sprocket, make sure that the pin on the camshaft fits small hole in pulley.
NOTE: Allow tensioner to remain in assemble state and must be installed temporarily as follows.
1) Temporarily tighten the tensioner as shown in illustration, in state that one extended end of spring tensioner is assembled to bend of tensioner
bracket as imaginary line (wheel spring tensioner is inoperative and not loaded).
2) Then set extended end of tensioner spring at front case with drive etc..
3. Install the timing belt so as not to allow slack to the tension side. Make sure that all timing marks are at their correct position with the tension side
in a strained state by applying force to the camshaft sprocket in a counterclockwise direction.
