>>B<< TIMING BELT INSTALLATION

1. Align the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets with those on the rocker cover and the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket with that on

the engine block as shown in the illustration.

CAUTION:  The camshaft sprocket (right bank) can turn easily due to the spring force applied, so be careful not to get your fingers caught.

2. Install the timing belt by the following procedure so that there is no deflection in the timing belt between each sprocket and pulley.

1. Crankshaft sprocket
2. Idler pulley
3. Camshaft sprocket (Left bank)
4. Water pump pulley
5. Camshaft sprocket (Right bank)
6. Tensioner pulley

3. Turn the camshaft sprocket (Right bank) counterclockwise until the tension side of the timing belt is firmly stretched. Check all the timing

marks again.

4. Use special tool MD998767 to push the tensioner pulley into the timing belt, then temporarily tighten the center bolt.

5. Use special tool MD998769 to turn the crankshaft 1/4 turn counterclockwise, then turn it again clockwise until the timing marks are aligned.
