TIMING BELT INSTALLATION
1. Align the timing marks on the camshaft sprocket,
crankshaft sprocket and oil pump sprocket.
2. After aligning the timing mark on the oil pump sprocket,
remove the cylinder block plug and insert a Phillips
screwdriver with a diameter of 8 mm, and check to be
sure that the screwdriver goes in 60 mm or more. If
the screwdriver will only go in 20 - 25 mm before striking
the counterbalance shaft, turn the sprocket once, realign
the timing mark and check that the screwdriver goes in
60 mm or more. The screwdriver should not be taken
out until the timing belt is installed.
3. Install the belt to the crankshaft sprocket, oil pump
sprocket and camshaft sprocket in that order, so that
there is no slackness in the belt tension.
Caution
If the timing belt is re-used, install so that the arrow
marked on it at time of removal is pointing in the
clockwise direction.
4. Set the tension pulley so that the pin holes are at the
top, press the tension pulley lightly against the timing
belt, and then provisionally tighten the fixing bolt.
5. Adjust the timing belt tension.
