lnstallation:
1. Bring the No. 1 piston to compression stroke TDC.
2. Coata new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.
3. Align the lug on the end of the distributor and its
mating grooves in the camshaft end, then slip the
distributor into position.
NOTE: The lug on the end of the distributor and its
mating grooves in the camshaft end are both offset
to eliminate the possibility of installing the distribu-
tor 180o out of time.
4. Installthe mounting bolts, and tighten them lightly.
5. Connect the ignition wires to the distributor ignition(Dl) cap as shown,

Adjust the shift cable (see section l4).. Adjust the throttle cable (see section 11).. Refill the engine with engine oil (see page g-4).
. Refill the transmission with oil or fluid (see sec-tion 13 or 14).
. Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see page
10_5).
. Bleed air from the cooling system with theheater valve open (see page l0-5).. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals withsandpaper, assemble them, then apply grease toDrevent corrosron.. Inspect for fuel leakage (see section 1l).After assembling fuel line pans, turn on the igni-tion switch (do not operate the starter) so thatthe fuel pump operates for approximately twoseconds and the fuel Iine pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, andcheck for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

Inspection
Remove the cylinder head cover.
lnspect the timing belt for c.acks and oil or coolant
soaking. Replace the belt if it is oil or coolant
soaked. Remove any oil or solvent that gets on the
belt.
lnspect thisarea for wear.
After inspecting, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt
to 177 N.m (18.0 kgnm, 130 lbf.ft).
Install the cylinder head cover (see page 6-32).
3.
Tension Adjustment
NOTE:
. Always adjust the timing belt tension with the engine
coto.
. Always rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise when
viewed from the pulley side. Rotating it clockwise
may result in improper adiustment of the belt ten-
sion.
'1. Remove the cylinder head cover
2. Set the No. 1 piston at TDC (see page.6-12).
3. Rotate the crankshaft five or six revolutions to set
the belt.
Set the No. 1 piston at TDC.
Loosen the adjusting bolt 1/2 turn (180') only.

Timing Belt
Removal
Replace the timing belt at 105,000 miles (168,000 km)
according to the maintenance schedule {normal condi-
tions/severe conditions). lf the vehicle is regularly driven
in either of the following conditions, replace the timing
belt at 60,000 miles (U.S.A.l 100.000 km (Canada).
- ln very high temperatures (over 110'F, 43"C).- In very low temperatures (under -20"F. -29"C).
Turn the crankshaft pu\ley so the No. 1 piston is at
top dead center (TDC).
Remove the guard bar and splash shield (see page
5-7 ).
Loosen the mounting bolt and lock bolt. then remove
the power steering (P/S) pump belt.

Working from the camshaft side, use the driver andan air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (O.l
in) towards the combustion chamber. This willknock off some of the carbon and make removaleasier. Hold the air hammer directly in line with thevalve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
CAUTION: Always wear satety goggles or a faceshield when driving valve guidss.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out towardthe camshaft side of the head.
li a valve guide won't move, drill it out with a 8.0mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again. Dritt guides onty inextreme cases; you could damage the cylinder headif the guide breaks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at atlme, as you need them.
