Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

VALVE TIMING BELT INSTALLATION





1. Align the timing marks on the camshaft sprocket, crankshaft camshaft drive sprocket and engine oil pump sprocket.





2. Adjust the timing mark of the engine oil pump sprocket. Unplug the cylinder block plug. Insert a bolt (M6, section width 10 mm, nominal length 45 mm) in the plug hole. If the bolt comes in contact with the balancer shaft, turn the engine oil sprocket one rotation. Re-adjust the timing mark and then check to see that the bolt fits. Do not remove the bolt until the valve timing belt is assembled.





3. Install the valve timing belt in the following manner so that the tensile force of the belt is not lax.
(1) Place the valve timing belt on the timing belt tensioner pulley and crankshaft camshaft driver sprocket and then support it with your left hand so it does not slide.
(2) Place the valve timing belt on the engine oil pump sprocket while pulling it with the right hand.
(3) Place the valve timing belt on the timing belt idler pulley.

CAUTION: Install the valve timing belt. Then apply reverse rotation (counterclockwise rotation) pressure to the cam shaft sprocket. Re-check to see that each timing mark is aligned while the tension side of the belt is right.

(4) Place the valve timing belt on the camshaft sprocket.





4. Turn the timing belt tensioner pulley in the direction shown in the figure using special tool MD998767 to apply tension to the valve timing belt. Then temporarily tighten and fix the timing belt tensioner pulley mounting bolt.





5. Check that the timing marks are aligned.





6. Remove the bolt inserted in Step 2 above, then assemble the cylinder block plug.
7. Tighten the cylinder block plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 30 ±3 Nm (23 ±2 ft-lb)

8. Adjust the valve timing belt tension.
