Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

CAUTION: Incorrect removal or installation of the timing belt can result in damage to internal engine components.

For complete Timing Belt Removal and Installation information, please refer to Timing Belt; Service and Repair. Service and Repair

SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
a. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt to the crankshaft.





b. Turn the crankshaft, and align the timing marks of the crankshaft timing pulley and oil pump body.

NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.





c. Check that timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and No.3 timing belt cover are aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
d. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.





IF REUSING TIMING BELT, CHECK INSTALLATION MARKS ON TIMING BELT
Check that there are 3 installation marks and front mark on the timing belt.
If the installation and front marks have disappeared, before removing the timing belt, place 3 new installation marks on the timing belt to match the timing marks of the timing pulleys, and place a new front mark on the timing belt.

SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION





a. Crankshaft Timing Pulley Position:
1. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt to the crankshaft.
2. Turn the crankshaft, and align the timing marks of the crankshaft timing pulley and oil pump body.





b. Camshaft Timing Pulley Positions:
Using SST, turn the camshaft pulley, align the timing marks of the timing pulley and No.3 timing belt cover.
SST 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-01000)





INSTALL TIMING BELT

NOTICE: The engine should be cold.

a. Remove any oil or water on the pulleys, and keep them clean.

NOTICE: Only wipe the pulleys; do not use any cleansing agent.

b. Face the front mark on the timing belt forward.
c. Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley.
d. Align the installation marks on the timing belt with the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys.
e. Install the timing belt in this order:
1st: Crankshaft timing pulley
2nd: Water pump pulley
3rd: LH camshaft timing pulley
4th: No.2 idler pulley
5th: RH camshaft timing pulley
6th: No.1 idler pulley

SET TIMING BELT TENSIONER
a. Using a press, slowly press in the push rod using 981 - 9,807 N (100 - 1,000 kgf, 200 - 2,205 lbs.) of pressure.
b. Align the holes of the push rod and housing, pass a 1.27 mm hexagon wrench through the holes to keep the setting position of the push rod.





c. Release the press.





d. Install the dust boot to the tensioner.





INSTALL TIMING BELT TENSIONER
a. Temporarily install the tensioner with the 2 bolts.
b. Alternately tighten the 2 bolts.
Torque: 27 Nm (280 kgf-cm, 20 ft. lbs.)
c. Remove the 1.27 mm hexagon wrench from the tensioner

CHECK VALVE TIMING





a. Slowly turn the crankshaft 2 revolutions, and align the timing marks of the crankshaft timing pulley and oil pump body.

NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.





b. Check that the timing marks of the RH and LH timing pulleys with the timing marks of the No.3 timing belt cover as shown in the illustration.
If the marks do not align, remove the timing belt and reinstall it.
c. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
