Timing Belt: Description and Operation
Timing Belt
CAUTION: INTERFERENCE ENGINE
-
A single timing belt drives two camshafts (one in the left bank and one in the right bank). The belt also drives the water pump by its non-toothed
side.
-
The timing belt teeth have a specially designed round profile which contributes to quiet operation. The timing belt is made of strong and inflexible
core cords, wear-resistant canvas and heat resistant rubber material.
-
A hydraulic automatic belt tension adjuster always keeps the belt taut to the specified tension. Any manual belt tension adjustment is unnecessary.
NOTE:
*: The #1 piston is at TDC when the piston position mark on the crankshaft sprocket is aligned with the timing mark on the cylinder block.
**: The #1 piston is at TDC on the compression stroke when the piston position mark on the camshaft sprocket is aligned with the timing mark on
the belt cover.
