Timing System
TIMING BELTTIMING BELT 2.0L:
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the crankshaft pulley, coolant pump pulley and drive belt.
2. Remove the alternator bolt.
3. Remove the coolant pump pulley and belt.
4. Remove the crankshaft pulley.
5. Remove the timing belt cover.
6. Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley.
NOTE: If the timing belt is reused, make an arrow indicating the turning direction (or the front of the engine) to make sure that the belt is reinstalled in the same direction as before.
7. Remove the timing belt.
8. Remove the idler pulley.
9. Remove the camshaft sprocket.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the cylinder head with the wrench.
10. Remove the crankshaft sprocket from crankshaft.
INSPECTION
SPROCKETS, TENSIONER PULLEY, AND IDLER PULLEY.
1. Check the camshaft sprocket, crankshaft sprocket, tensioner pulley, and idler pulley for abnormal wear, cracks, or damage. Replace as necessary.
2. Inspect the tensioner pulley and the idler pulley for easy and smooth rotation and check for play or noise. Replace as necessary.
3. Replace the pulley if there is a grease leak from its bearing.
INSPECTION
TIMING BELT
1. Check the belt for oil or dust deposits. Replace, if necessary. Small deposits should be wiped away with a dry cloth or paper. Do not clean with solvent.
2. When the engine is overhauled or belt tension adjusted, check the belt carefully. If any of the following flaws are evident, replace the belt.
NOTE: Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.
Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact with oil, water and steam.
REASSEMBLY
1. Install damper pulley flange and crankshaft sprocket as shown. Pay close attention to their mounting direction.
Tightening Torque
Camshaft sprocket bolt: .......170 - 180 Nm (1700 - 1800 kg.cm, 125 - 133 ft. lbs.)
2. Install the camshaft sprocket and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
Camshaft sprocket bolt: .......100 - 120 Nm (1000 - 1200 kg.cm, 74 - 89 ft. lbs.)
3. Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket with the No. 1 piston placed at top dead center and its compression stroke.
4. Install the timing belt tensioner and idler pulley.
5. Install the timing belt on the camshaft.
NOTE: When the timing belt is installed on the camshaft sprocket, make sure that the tension side is tightened by pushing the timing belt tensioner pulley toward the water pump.
6. Turn the crankshaft one turn in the operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark.
CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft should be turned smoothly.
Tightening torque
Tensioner and idler pulley installing bolt: .......43 - 55 Nm (430 - 550 kg.cm, 32 - 41 ft. lbs.)
7. Recheck the belt tension. When the tension side of timing belt is pushed horizontally with a moderate force [approximately 2kg (20N, 51b)], the timing belt cog end sags in approximately 4-6 mm (0.16 - 0.24 inch).
8. Install the timing belt cover.
Tightening torque
Timing belt cover bolt: .......8 - 10 Nm (80 - 100 kg.cm, 6 - 7 ft. lbs.)
9. Install the crankshaft pulley. Make sure that the cranks shaft sprocket pin fits the small hole in the pulley.
10. Install the coolant pump pulley.
11. Install the drive belt and adjust the belt tension.
