  6. Install the timing belt tensioner loosely enough for the adjuster to rotate. Make sure that the stopper of base is leaning against the lowering sealing cap on the cylinder head.
  7. Belt so as not give slack at each center of shaft. Do as following procedures when installing timing belt.

    Crankshaft sprocket (A) → Idler pulley (B) → Camshaft sprocket (C) → timing belt tensioner (D).

    (The tensioner can be installed after the timing belt.)
