8. Loosen the tensioner mounting bolts 1 and 2 in that order as shown. This will apply spring tension to the timing belt only. Check the belt to ensure
that it is not out of position.
9. Tighten the tensioner tightening bolts 1 and 2 in that order. If the bolt 1 is tightened first, the tensioner will move with the belt in the direction that
the belt is tightened.
10. Give the crankshaft one turn in operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark with the top dead center position.
CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft a counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft should turn smoothly.
11. Loosen the tensioner attaching bolt 1 and 2 in that order.
12. Tighten the tensioner attaching bolts 2 and 1 in that order to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
Tensioner attaching bolt: 20 - 27 Nm (200 - 270 kg.cm, 15 - 20 ft. lbs.)
13. Then recheck the belt tension. Verify that when the tensioner and the tension side of the timing belt are pushed in horizontally with a moderate
force [approx. 49 N (11 lb)], the timing belt is off set from bolt head center by approximately bolt of the tensioner adjusting bolt head radius.
14. Install the timing belt cover.
Tightening torque
Timing belt cover bolt: 10 - 12 Nm (100 - 120 kg.cm, 7 - 6 ft. lbs.)
15. Install the crankshaft pulley. In this case, make sure that the crankshaft sprocket pin fits the small hole in the pulley.
16. Install the fan belt and adjust the belt tension.
17. Install the water pump pulley.
18. Install V-belt and adjust the belt tension.
