. ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT TENSION
(1) After turning the crankshaft l/4 turn counterclockwise,
turn it clockwise to move the No.1 cylinder to top dead
center.
(2) Loosen the center bolt, and then, as shown in the illus-
tration, attach the special tool and a torque wrench and
apply a torque of 2.6-2.8 Nm (1.88-2.03 ft.lbs.). If the
body interferes with the special tool and the torque
wrench, use a jack to slightly raise the engine assem-
bly.
NOTE
Use a torque wrench that is capable of measurement
within a range of O-3 Nm (O-2.2 ftlbs.)
(3) Holding the tensioner pulley with the special tool and
torque wrench, tighten the center bolt to specification.
(4) Screw the tool into the engine left support bracket until
its end makes contact with the tensioner arm. At that
point, screw the tool in some more and then remove
the set wire attached to the auto tensioner.
(5) Remove the tool.
(6) Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns clockwise
and leave it as is for about 15 minutes. Then, measure
the auto tensioner protrusion "A" (distance between
the tensioner arm and auto tensioner body) to ensure
that it is up to specification.
Standard value: 3.8-4.5 mm (.15-.18 in.)
If it is out of specification, repeat steps (6) through (11)
until the specified value is obtained.
