Galant L4-1997cc 2.0L SOHC 16 Valve (1993)
(2) Loosen the center bolt, and then, as shown in image, attach the special tool and a torque wrench and apply a torque of 2.6 - 2.8 Nm (1.88 -
2.03 ft lb). If the body interferes with the special tool and the torque wrench, use a jack to slightly raise the engine assembly.
NOTE: Use a torque wrench that is capable of measurement within a range of 0 - 3 Nm (0 - 2.2 ft lb).
(3) Holding the tensioner pulley with the special tool and torque wrench, tighten the center bolt to specification.
(4) Screw the tool into the engine left support bracket until it's end makes contact with the tensioner arm. At that point, screw the tool in some
more and then remove the set wire attached to the auto tensioner.
(5) Remove the tool.
(6) Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns clockwise and leave it as is for about 15 minutes. Then, measure the auto tensioner protrusion "A"
(distance between the tensioner arm and auto tensioner body) to ensure that it is up to specification.
Standard value: 3.8 - 4.5 mm (0.15 - 0.18 in)
NOTE: If it is out of specification, repeat steps (1) through (6) until the specified value is obtained.
(7) If the clearance between the tensioner arm and the auto tensioner body cannot be measured (when the engine is being mounted, etc.), the
following procedures can be used to substitute for the ordinary method of measurement.
