12. Turn crankshaft 120 degrees clockwise.
13. Turn crankshaft 120 degrees counterclockwise and set No. 1 cylinder at TDC on its compression stroke.
14. Prepare a suitable steel plate to measure belt deflection as shown.
15.
(1) Set plate and push it with 49 N (5 kg, 11 lb) force using Tool (push-pull gauge) at each position of timing belt mid-way between pulleys as
shown.
(2) Measure each deflection.
DEFLECTION: 6 - 7 mm (0.24-0.28 in) or the average of each portion (A) + (B) + (C) + (D) / 4 is 6 - 7 mm (0.24-0.28 in)
If not within specification, repeat procedure from step 7 through step 15.
16. Confirm auto tensioner fixing nuts and bolts are tightened to 16 - 21 Nm (1.6 - 2.1 kg, 12 to 15 ft lb).
17. Remove the auto-tensioner stopper bolt. After 5 minutes check the projection of the rod (clearance between tensioner arm and pusher) stays at 3.5
- 5.2 mm (0.138 - 0.205 in).
