Timing Belt: Adjustments

TIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

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

spring to apply tension to the belt.

(2) Turn the crankshaft clockwise for two rotations, and recheck that the timing marks on each sprocket are aligned.

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 above. Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.

(3) Check that all belt teeth in the section marked with an "*" are lifted up and that the teeth in each sprocket are engaged. Then secure the

tensioner pulley.

(4) Lastly, lightly clamp the center of the span between the camshaft sprocket and the water pump sprocket on the belt tension side with your

thumb and forefinger as shown in the illustration. Then check that the clearance A between the reverse surface of the belt and the inside of
the under cover seal line is at the standard value.

Standard value: Approx. 30 mm (1.18 in.)
