Timing Belt: Installation
- Install the idler pulley to water pump boss.NOTE: Insert and install the idler pulley to the roll pin that is pressed in the water pump boss.
- Install the tensioner arm and plain washer to the cylinder block.
- Install the tensioner pulley to the tensioner arm.
- Install the camshaft sprockets and align the timing marks.
NOTE:
- When installing the camshaft sprockets, fasten them tightly while holding the hexagonal part of the camshaft.
- Before installing the timing belt, if the timing marks of the cam sprocket and the cylinder head cover do not coincide, do not rotate the cam sprocket more than 3 teeth in either direction.
- Rotating the sprocket more than 3 teeth may allow the valve and piston to touch each other.
- If the cam sprocket is rotated more than 3 teeth unavoidably, rotate the crankshaft counter clock wise a bit before rotating the cam sprocket.
- Install the auto tensioner to the front case.NOTE: At this time auto tensioner's set pin should be compressed and secured with set pin.
- Align the timing marks of each sprocket and install the timing belt in the following order.
1. Crankshaft sprocket => 2. Idler pulley => 3. Camshaft sprocket (LH side) => 4. Water pump pulley => 5. Camshaft sprocket (RH side) => 6. Tensioner pulley.
NOTE:- In this step, No. 1 cylinder is in the TDC (Compression stroke).
- Be very careful if you use your fingers.
- Pull out the set pin of the auto tensioner.
- Install the upper and lower timing belt covers.
- Install the power steering pump pulley, idler pulley, tensioner pulley and crankshaft pulley.
- Using the wrench [16mm], rotate the tensioner arm clockwise (about 14°) and install the belt to the pulley.
- Install the engine cover.
