Installation Service Points 

>A< Timing Belt Installation. 

(1) Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprockets (on the front and rear sides) and the crankshaft sprocket. (At the top dead point of the No. 1

cylinder compression stroke.)

(2) First, route the timing belt on the crankshaft sprocket, then on the camshaft sprocket on the side without slackness in the tight side.
(3) Next, run the timing belt onto the water pump pulley, the camshaft sprocket on the front side, and the timing belt tensioner.
(4) Apply force counterclockwise to the camshaft sprocket on the rear side. When the tight side of the belt is fault, check that the timing marks

are all aligned.

>B< Timing Belt Tension Adjustment. 

(1) Attach the flange.
(2) Back off the fixing bolts of the temporarily tightened tensioner one or two turns and tighten the timing belt with the tensioner spring force.

Using the special tool together with the temporarily tightened crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft two turns in the normal rotating
direction (clockwise).

NOTE:  Turn smoothly, but not in the opposite direction (counterclockwise).

(4) Re-align the sprockets timing marks and tighten the tensioner fixing bolts.

Tightening torque: 

22 - 30 Nm (16 - 22 ft. lbs.)
