    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.
  5. 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.

  6. 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.
