Timing Belt: Specifications (page 6 of 12) – Mitsubishi Sigma V6-2972cc 3.0L SOHC (1989)

When the timing belt is to be reused, in order to allow reinstallation of the belt so that it travels in the same direction as before it was removed,
mark the direction of travel with an arrow before removing it.

CAUTION:
-

As water or oil on the belt can seriously reduce its usable life, ensure that the timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner stay clean and dry while
removed, and never wash them. Parts that have become too dirty should be replaced.

-

When any of the parts are oily, check to see whether there are any oil leaks in any of the oil seals or the camshaft oil seal on the front of the
engine.
