(4) Remove the plug on the cylinder block and insert a Phillips
screwdriver [shank diameter 8 mm] through the hole.
If it can be inserted as deep as 60 mm or more, the timing
marks are correctly aligned. If the inserted depth is only
20 - 25 mm, turn the oil pump sprocket one turn and
realign the timing marks. Then check to ensure that the
screwdriver can be inserted 60 mm or more. Keep the
screwdriver inserted until installation of the timing belt
is finished.
(5) Install the timing belt on the sprockets in the following
sequence while taking care so that the belt is not slack
between sprockets or between sprocket and pulley.

the cam sprocket from the timing mark and hold this
position. Check that the belt is in complete mesh with
the sprockets.
(8) Fix the tensioner.
