Timing Belt: Installation
- Install the camshaft sprocket and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
- Temporarily install the camshaft sprocket bolt.
- Hold the hexagonal head wrench (A) portion of the camshaft with a wrench (B), and tighten the camshaft sprocket (C) bolt.
Tightening torque
Camshaft sprocket bolt
100 ~ 120Nm (1000 ~ 1200kgf.cm, 74 ~ 89lbf.ft)
- Install cylinder head cover.
- Install cylinder head cover (A) and 12 bolts (B).
- Install the PCV hose (A) and breather hose (B).
- Install the accelerator cable (A) from the cylinder head cover.
- Install the spark plug cable.
- Install the crankshaft sprocket (A).
- Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket (A) and crankshaft sprocket (B) with the No.1 piston placed at top dead center and its compression stroke.
- Install the idler pulley (A) and tighten the bolt (B) to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
Idler pulley bolt
43 ~ 55Nm (430 ~ 550kgf.m, 32 ~ 40lbf.ft)
- Temporarily install the timing belt tensioner (A) with plain washer (B).
- Install the timing belt so as not to give excessive slack at the center of the belt. Install the timing belt with the following procedure.
- Temporarily fasten tensioner pulley by center bolt to add force at belt.
- Timing belt tension adjusting
- Rotate crankshaft in regular direction (clock wise view from front) through angle equivalent to two teeth (18°) of camshaft sprocket (A).
- Give tension to timing belt by rotating tensioner in direction of the arrow with tool and set timing belt not to give slack to tension side.
- Tightening tensioner bolt.
Tightening torque
Tensioner bolt
43 ~ 55Nm (430 ~ 550kgf.cm, 32 ~ 40lbf.ft)
- Recheck the belt tension. When the tension side of timing belt is pushed horizontally with a moderate force [approx. 2kg (20N, 5lb)], the timing belt cog end sags in approx. 4 ~ 6mm (0.16 ~ 0.24in.)
- Turn the crankshaft two turns in the operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket timing mark.
- Install the timing belt lower cover (A) with 5 bolts (B).
Tightening torque
Timing belt cover bolt
8 ~ 10Nm (80 ~ 100kg.cm, 6 ~ 7lbf.ft)
- Install the flange and crankshaft pulley (A).
Make sure that crankshaft sprocket pin fits the small hole in the pulley.
Tightening torque
Crankshaft pulley bolt
170 ~ 180Nm (1700 ~ 1800kgf.cm, 125 ~ 133lbf.ft)

- Install the coolant pump pulley with 4 bolts.
- Install power steering belt. (See POWER STEERING OIL PUMP )
- Install air compressor belt. (See COMPRESSOR )
- Install alternator belt. (See ALTERNATOR )
- Install the engine mount bracket.
- Install the stay plate (A) with bolt (B).
Tightening torque
Stay plate bolt
43 ~ 55Nm (430 ~ 550kgf.cm 32 ~ 40lbf.ft)
- Install engine mount bracket (A) with 3 nuts and bolt.
Tightening torque
Bolt (B), Nuts (C)
50 ~ 60Nm (500 ~ 600kgf.ft, 37 ~ 48lbf.ft)
Nut (D): 60 ~ 80Nm (600 ~ 800kgf.m 44 ~ 59lbf.ft)
- Install the stay plate (A) with bolt (B).
- Install RH side cover (A) with 2 bolts (B).
- Install RH front wheel.
- Install engine cover with 4bolts. (See VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT )
