SERVICE POINTS OF REMOVAL
2. REMOVAL OF ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET
(1) With a wooden block placed against the oil pan part of
the engine, jack up the vehicle.
Caution
Jack up gently, so as not to apply a load to the va-
rious parts.
(2) Remove the engine mount bracket.

11. REMOVAL OF AUTO TENSIONER

(1) Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing
marks so as to bring the No.1 cylinder to compression
top-dead-centre position.
At this time the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket
-and the upper surface of the cylinder head should coin-
cide, and the dowel pin of the camshaft sprocket
should be at the upper side.
Caution
The crankshaft must always be rotated clockwise.
(2) Remove the auto tensioner.

12. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT
Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating the
direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the same
direction if it is to be reused.
Caution
Water or oil on the belt shorten its life drastically, so
the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner
must be free from oil and water. These parts should
not be washed. Replace parts if seriously contami-
nated.
If there is oil or water on each part check the front
case oil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for
leaks.
16. REMOVAL OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKET
(1) Rotate the crankshaft in the forward (right) direction
and align the timing mark.
Caution
The crankshaft must always be rotated in the for-
ward direction only.
