Caution
Always turn the crankshaft in the

(2) Loosen the tension pulley center bolt.
(3) Move the tension pulley to the water pump side, and
then remove the timing belt.
Caution
If the timing belt isto be reused, use chalk to mark
(on its flat side) an arrow indicating the clock-wi se

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
AUTO TENSIONER INSTALLATION
(1) Apply 98-196 (22-44 Ibs.) force to the push rod of
the auto tensioner by against a metal (cylinder
and measure the movement of the push
rod.
Standard value: Within 1 mm in.)
A: Length when it is free (not pressed) B: Length when it is
A-B: Movement
(2)If it is out of the standard value, replace the aut o tensioner.
(3)Use a press or vise to gently compress the auto ten sioner
push rod until pin hole A of the push rod and pin hole
of the tensioner cylinder are aligned.
Caution
If the compression speed is too fast, the rod may
become damaged, so be sure to carry out this opera-
tion slowly.
(4) Once the holes are aligned, insert the set pin.
NOTE
When replacing the auto tensioner with part, the
pin will be in the auto tensioner.
(5) Install the auto tensioner to the

(2) After aligning the timing mark on the oil pump sprocket,’
remove the cylinder block plug and insert a Phillips screw-
driver with a diameter of 8 mm in.), and check
be sure that the screwdriver goes mm (2.36 in.)
or more. If the screwdriver will only go in 20

turn the sprocket once, realign the timing mark and check
that the screwdriver goes in 60 mm (2.36 in.) or mo re.
Do not take out the screwdriver until the timing ‘b elt is
installed.
(3) Install the timing belt so as not to be
the sprockets, by the following procedure.
Caution
If the timing belt is to install that
the mark indicates the clockwise direction.
(4) Set the tension pulley so that the pin
are at the
bottom, press the tension pulley lightly against th e timing
belt.

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
(1) After turning the crankshaft
of a revolution counter-
clockwise, turn it clockwise until the timing marks are
aligned.
(2) Loosen the tension pulley fixing bolt, and then use the
special tool and a torque wrench to
the fixing
bolt to the specified torque while applying tension to the
timing belt.,
Standard value:
3.5 Nm (2.6

Caution
When tightening the fixing bolt, do not let the ten sion
pulley turn with the bolt.
(3) Turn the crankshaft two revolutions ‘clockwise so that
the timing marks are aligned.
leaving it for 15 min-
utes, measure the amount of protrusion of the auto ten-
sioner.
Standard value (A): 3.8-4.5 mm in.)
(4) If the amount of protrusion is outside the standard value,,
repeat the operation in steps ‘(1) to, (3).
(5) Check again that the timing marks of each sproc ket are
aligned.
