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.

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).

bottom, press the tensioner pulley lightlyagainst the timing
belt, and then provisionally tighten the fixing bolt.

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.
