Outlander AWD L4-2.4L SOHC (2003)
1. Ensure that the crankshaft balancer shaft drive sprocket timing marks and balancer shaft sprocket timing marks are aligned.
2. Install the balancer timing belt on the crankshaft balancer shaft drive sprocket and balancer shaft sprocket. There should be no slack on the
tension side.
3. Assemble and temporarily fix the center of the pulley of the balancer timing belt tensioner so that it is at the top left from the center of the
assembling bolt, and the pulley flange is at the front-side of the engine.
4. Adjust the balancer timing belt tension.
>>B<< BALANCER TIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
When measuring the belt deflection:
CAUTION: When tightening the mounting bolts, ensure that the tensioner does not rotate with the bolts. Allowing it to rotate with the bolts can
cause excessive tension of the belt.
1. With your fingers, lift the balancer timing belt tensioner in the direction of the arrow. Apply pressure of [3.0 ± 0.4 Nm (26 ± 4 inch lbs.)] to
the balancer timing belt.
Tighten the assembling bolt to the standard torque. Then, fix the balancer timing belt tensioner.
Tightening torque: 19 ± 3 Nm (14 ± 2 ft. lbs.)
2. Turn the crankshaft clockwise two turns to set No. 1 cylinder to TDC of its compression stroke and check that the sprocket timing marks are
aligned.
3. Apply a pressure of approximately 100 N (22 pounds) at the center (arrow area) between the sprocket as shown, then inspect whether the belt
deflection is within the standard value.
