Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

CAUTION: If camshafts have moved from the timing marks, always rotate camshaft towards the direction nearest to the timing marks (DO NOT TURN CAMSHAFTS A FULL REVOLUTION OR DAMAGE to valves and/or pistons could result).

^ Align the crankshaft sprocket (10) with the TDC mark (9) on oil pump cover.
^ Align the camshaft sprockets (2, 7) timing reference marks (1, 8) with the marks on the rear cover.
^ Install the timing belt starting at the crankshaft sprocket (10) going in a counterclockwise direction. Install the belt around the last sprocket. Maintain tension on the belt as it is positioned around the tensioner pulley (11).

NOTE: If the camshaft gears have been removed it is only necessary to have the camshaft gear retaining bolts installed to a snug torque at this time.

^ Holding the tensioner pulley (11) against the belt, install the tensioner into the housing and tighten to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.). Each camshaft sprocket mark should remain aligned the cover marks.

^ Rotate crankshaft sprocket 2 revolutions and check the timing marks on the camshafts and crankshaft. The marks should line up within their respective locations. If marks do not line up, repeat procedure.
