Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

TIMING BELT INSTALLATION





1. Align the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets with those on the rocker cover and the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket with that on the engine block as shown in the illustration.

CAUTION: The camshaft sprocket (right bank) can turn easily due to the spring force applied, so be careful not to get your fingers caught.

2. Install the timing belt by the following procedure so that there is no deflection in the timing belt between each sprocket and pulley.
1. Crankshaft sprocket
2. Idler pulley
3. Camshaft sprocket (Left bank)
4. Water pump pulley
5. Camshaft sprocket (Right bank)
6. Tensioner pulley
3. Turn the camshaft sprocket (Right bank) counterclockwise until the tension side of the timing belt is firmly stretched. Check all the timing marks again.
