Refit - Engines fitted with automatic timing belt tensioner

1. Clean crankshaft pulley, timing belt gears, coolant pump drive gear and tensioner pulley.

CAUTION: If the sintered gears have been subjected to prolonged oil contamination, they must be soaked in a solvent bath and then thoroughly washed in clean solvent before refitting. Because of the porous construction of sintered material, oil impregnated in the gears will emerge and contaminate the belt.

2. Check correct alignment of camshaft timing marks for 90° BTDC and that tool 18G 1570 is locking camshaft gears.
