19. REMOVE TIMING BELT GUIDE NO. 2
20. REMOVE TIMING BELT





a. Set No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
1 Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer to the crankshaft.
2 Turn the crankshaft clockwise, and align the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley with the oil pump body.





3 Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and No. 3 timing belt cover are aligned. If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
4 Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.





b. If re-using the timing belt, check that there are 3 installation marks on the timing belt as shown in the illustration.
1 If the installation marks have disappeared, put new installation marks on the timing belt before removing.





c. Set No. 1 cylinder to approximately 60° BTDC/ compression.
1 Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approximately 60°.

NOTICE: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulley and camshaft, causing damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.

d. Remove the timing belt tensioner.

NOTICE: Do not reinstall the tensioner with its plunger extended.








e. Remove the timing belt in this order.

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL TIMING BELT
a. Remove any oil or water on the pulleys, and keep them clean.

NOTICE:
^ If there is a trace of water and/or oil on the timing belt, repair the leakage and install a new timing belt.
^ Wipe only the pulleys; do not use any cleaning agent.

b. Inspect the idler pulleys.
1 Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
2 Visually check the seal portion of the idler pulley for oil leakage.
c. Inspect the water pump.
1 Turn the pulley, and check that water pump bearing moves smoothly and does not make 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°.

NOTICE: To prevent contacting the piston head and the valve head, set the crankshaft pulley at 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)

NOTICE: Be sure to hold the SST with the timing marks aligned to prevent the left bank pulley from deviating to the right.





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.
2. INSTALL CHAIN TENSIONER ASSEMBLY NO. 1





a. Set the timing belt tensioner upright on the press.
b. Slowly press in the push rod.

NOTICE: Do not apply pressure more than 9.8 kN (1,000 kgf, 2,205 lbs.) to the rod.

c. Align the holes of the push rod and housing, pass a 1.5 mm hexagon wrench through the holes to keep the setting position of the push rod.
d. Release the press.
e. Temporarily install the tensioner with the 2 bolts. Alternately tighten the 2 bolts.
Torque: 27 Nm (280 kgf-cm, 20 ft. lbs.)
