Fip timing belt (page 3 of 4)

Refit

1. Clean timing belt gears.

CAUTION: If the gears have been subjected to prolonged oil contamination, they must be soaked in a solvent bath and thoroughly clean and dry before reuse. The cause of oil contamination must be rectified.

2. Leave the 4 bolts securing the FIP timing belt drive gear to hub just loose enough for the gear to rotate within slots without tipping.
3. Fit timing belt using fingers only, rotating the FIP timing belt drive gear fully clockwise within the slots, and then anti-clockwise until the drive belt locates in the gear teeth. Fitting the belt in the other possible position will not allow for correct belt adjustment.

CAUTION: If original belt is to be refitted, ensure direction of rotation mark is facing correct way.

4. Loosen tensioner pulley Allen bolt.
5. Using a torque wrench fitted to tensioner pulley backplate, apply a clockwise, as viewed from rear of engine, torque loading of 6 Nm to drive belt. Maintain loading and tighten tensioner pulley Allen bolt to 44 Nm.

CAUTION: Do not exceed specified torque figure.

6. Remove FIP gear locking pin 18G 1717 and timing pin 18G 1523.
