tension is applied on timing belt. In this case, remove wire or pin. If the projection of timing belt tensioner adjuster rod is within the standard
value, appropriate tension is applied.
Standard value (A): 3.8 - 4.5 mm (0.15 - 0.17 inch)

11. If wire or pin cannot be easily pulled out, repeat Step 1 through Step 9 to reach proper valve timing belt tension.

CAUTION:  Always check the tightening torque of the crank shaft pulley center bolt when turning the crack shaft pulley center bolt
counterclockwise. Re-tighten if it is loose.

12. Check again that the timing marks on sprockets are aligned.
