TIMING BELT AND SPROCKET(S) (Continued)
(5) Insert a 6 mm Allen wrench into the hexagon
opening located on the top plate of the belt tensioner
pulley. Rotate the top plate COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE. The tensioner pulley will move against the
belt and the tensioner setting notch will eventually
start to move clockwise. Watching the movement of
the setting notch, continue rotating the top plate
counterclockwise until the setting notch is aligned
with the spring tang (Fig. 111). Using the allen
wrench to prevent the top plate from moving, torque
the tensioner lock bolt to 25 N·m (220 in. lbs.). Set-
ting notch and spring tang should remain aligned
after lock nut is torqued.
(6) Remove allen wrench and torque wrench.

NOTE: Repositioning the crankshaft to the TDC
position must be done only during the CLOCKWISE
rotation movement. If TDC is missed, rotate a fur-
ther two revolutions until TDC is achieved. DO NOT
rotate crankshaft counterclockwise as this will
make verification of proper tensioner setting impos-
sible.
(7) Rotate the crankshaft CLOCKWISE two com-
plete revolutions manually for seating of the belt,
until the crankshaft is repositioned at the TDC posi-
tion. Verify that the camshaft and crankshaft timing
marks are in proper position (Fig. 112).

(8) Check if the spring tang is within the tolerance
window (Fig. 113). If the spring tang is within the
tolerance window, the installation process is complete
and nothing further is required. If the spring tang is
not within the tolerance window, repeat Steps 5
through 7.
(9) Install engine mount support bracket (Fig.
100).
(10) Install upper timing belt cover. Torque fasten-
ers to 6 N·m (50 in. lbs.) (Fig. 100).
(11) Install the lower timing belt cover. Torque fas-
teners to 6 N·m (50 in. lbs.) (Fig. 100).
(12) Install generator and bracket. Connect gener-
ator connections.
(13) Install AC/Generator belt tensioner.
(14) Install crankshaft damper (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/VIBRATION DAMPER -
INSTALLATION).
(15) Install right engine mount (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE MOUNTING/RIGHT MOUNT -
INSTALLATION).
(16) Install coolant recovery container (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ENGINE/COOLANT RECOVERY CON-
TAINER - INSTALLATION).
(17) Install accessory drive belts (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS -
INSTALLATION).
