sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket are aligned.
NOTE
In this condition, the No.1 cylinder will be in th e
compression top dead centre position.
2. Install the timing belt so that there is no slackness on
the tension sides of the belt (A, B, C and D).
Caution
Be careful not to damage the teeth of the timing belt
against the edges of the camshaft sprocket when
installing the timing belt.

If reusing the old timing belt, install it so that the arrow
made on the belt during removal is pointing in the direction
of rotation (clockwise).
3. Set the tensioner pulley so that the pin holes are at the
bottom, press the tensioner pulley lightlyagainst the timing
belt, and then provisionally tighten the fixing bolt.
4. Apply force to the rear bank side camshaft sprocket in
the direction of the arrow to apply tension to the tension
sides (A, B, C and D), and check that all of the timing
marks are aligned at this time.
