Timing Belt: Adjustments

1. Align mark on crankshaft sprocket to protrusion on front case.

NOTE:  The piston in the No.1 cylinder must be at top dead center of the compression stroke.

2. Align the camshaft sprocket so that the hole in the sprocket web is on the top, and the marks on the sprocket align with the machined surface of the

cylinder head.

NOTE:  Mark on bearing cap must be visible through hole in sprocket.

3. Tension the timing belt as follows:

a. Tension the timing belt by turning the timing belt tensioner pulley toward the water pump until a belt deflection of 4-6 mm(0.160-0.240 inch)

under a force of 2 kg (4.4 lbs.) as shown in the illustration is achieved.

b. Tighten the tensioner bolt to 43-55 Nm (430-550 kg.cm, 32-41 ft. lbs.)
c. Turn the crankshaft one turn in operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark.

CAUTION:  Do not turn the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft should be turned smoothly.

d. Recheck the belt tension. The tension side of timing belt is pushed in horizontally with a moderate force, approximately 2 kg (20 N, 4.4 lbs.)

the timing belt should deflect approximately 4-6 mm (0.160-0.240 inch).

NOTE:  Repeat above procedure until proper belt tension is reached.
