SERVICE POINT OF INSTALLATION
15. INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT
(1) Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprockets (on "3
the front and rear sides) and the crankshaft sprocket.
(At the top dead point of the No. 1 cylinder compression
stroke.)
(2) First, route the timing belt on the crankshaft sprocket,
then on the camshaft sprocket on the side without
slackness in the tight side.
(3) Next, run the timing belt onto the water pump pulley,
the camshaft sprocket on the front side, and the timing
belt tensioner.
(4) Apply force counterclockwise to the camshaft sprocket
on the rear side. When the tight side of the belt is fault,
check that the timing marks are all aligned.
ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT TENSION
l
(2) Back off the fixing bolts of the temporarily tightened
tensioner one or two turns and tighten the timing belt
with the tensioner spring force.
(3) Using the special tool together with the temporarily
tightened crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft two
turns in the normal rotating direction (clockwise).
NOTE
Turn smoothly, but not in the opposite direction
(counterclockwise).
(4) Re-align the sprockets timing marks and tighten the
tensioner fixing bolts.
Tightening torque: 22 - 30 Nm (16 - 22 ft.lbs.1
(5) Measure belt tension with a belt tension gauge at the
indicated plate.
Standard value: 210 - 310 N (46.3 - 68.3 Ibs.)
