CAUTION: Do not rotate camshaft or crankshaft with timing belt removed.

If the sintered gear has been subjected to prolonged oil contamination, it must be soaked in a solvent bath and thoroughly washed with solvent before refitment. Because of the porous construction of the sintered material, oil impregnated in the gear will emerge and contaminate a new belt.

If camshaft timing belt shows any sign of oil or coolant contamination, renew belt. See this section.

Cause of contamination must be rectified.

19. Fit but do not tighten the original camshaft gear retaining bolt.
