REMOVE TIMING BELT
a. Set No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
1. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt with the washer to the crankshaft.





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





3. 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°).
4. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Remove the timing belt tensioner.

NOTICE: Do not install the tensioner as it removed.

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

NOTICE: If adherence of water and/or oil to the timing belt is found, restore the leakage and install a new timing belt. Wipe only the pulleys; do not use any cleansing agent.

b. Inspect the idler pulleys.
1. Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
2. Visually check the seal portion of the idler pulley for oil leakage.
c. Inspect the water pump.
1. Turn the pulley, and check that water pump bearing moves smoothly and quietly.
2. Visually check the drain hole for coolant leakage.
d. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer to the crankshaft.





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





f. Using SST, turn the camshaft pulley, and align the timing marks of the timing pulley and No.3 timing belt cover.
SST 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-01000)





g. Face the front mark on the timing belt forward.
h. Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley.
i. Align the installation marks on the timing belt with the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys.








j. Install the timing belt in this order.
