TIMING BELT

NOTICE:
- 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 instaling the mounting bolt of the camshaft timing pulley.





(a) Remove any oil or water on the pulleys, and keep them clean.

- If there is a trace of water and/or oil on the timing belt, repair the leakage and install a new timing belt.
- Only wipe the pulleys. Do not use cleaning agents on the pulleys.

(b) Inspect the idler pulleys.
(1) Check that the idler pulleys turn smoothly.
(2) Visually check the sealed portion of the idler pulleys for oil leakage.
(c) Inspect the water pump.
(1) Turn the pulley, and check that the water pump bearing moves smoothly without any noise.
(2) Visually check the drain hole for coolant leakage.
(d) Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer to the crankshaft.





(e) Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approximately 60°.

NOTE: To prevent the piston head and the valve head from colliding, set the crankshaft pulley at approximately 60° BTDC/compression position.





(f) Using SST, turn the timing pulleys, and align the timing marks of the timing pulleys with the No. 3 timing belt cover.
SST: 09960-10010
09962-01000
09963-01000





(g) Turn the crankshaft, and align the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley with the oil pump body.





(h) Face the front mark on the timing belt forward.
(i) Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley.
(j) Align the installation marks on the timing belt with the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys.





(k) Install the timing belt in this order.
