– TIMING BELT
INSPECT TIMING BELT
Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.
Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact with
oil, water or steam.
Do not utilize timing belt tension when installing or re-
moving the mounting bolt of the camshaft timing
pulley.
Premature parting
Check for proper installation.
Check the timing cover gasket for damage and
proper installation.
If the belt teeth are cracked or damaged, check to see if
either camshaft or water pump is locked.
If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face,
check to see if there are nicks on the side of the idler
pulley lock.
If there is wear or damage on only one side of the belt,
check the belt guide and the alignment of each pulley.
If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check the tim-
ing cover for damage and check gasket has been
installed correctly and for foreign material on the pulley
teeth.

leakage.
Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
