1. Initially loosen the fixing bolt of the tensioner pulley fixed to the engine mount side by 1/4 - 1/2 turn, and use the force of the tensioner spring

to apply tension to the belt.  

CAUTION:  As the purpose of this procedure is to apply the proper amount of tension to the tension side of the timing belt by using the cam
driving torque, turn the crankshaft only by the amount given. Be sure not to turn the crankshaft in the opposite direction (counter clockwise).  

2. Turn the crankshaft in the proper rotation direction (clockwise) for two rotations, and recheck to be sure that the timing marks on each sprocket

are aligned.

3. After checking to be sure that no belt teeth in the section marked with A are lifted up and that the teeth in each sprocket are engaged, secure the

tensioner pulley.
