30. Remove timing chain tensioner (primary) as follows:
a. Remove lower mounting bolt.
b. Loosen upper mounting bolt slowly, and then turn timing chain
tensioner (primary) on the mounting bolt so that plunger is fully
expanded.
NOTE:
Even if plunger is fully expanded, it is not dropped from the body
of timing chain tensioner (primary).

pump cover, chain tensioner cover and intake valve timing con-
trol covers.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Timing Chain
Check for cracks and any excessive wear at link plates and roller
links of timing chain. Replace timing chain as necessary.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
The below figure shows the relationship between the mating mark on each timing chain and that on the corre-
sponding sprocket, with the components installed.

Apply liquid gasket on installation position of water pump and cylinder head very completely.
d. Align rear timing chain case and water pump assembly with dowel pins (right and left bank) on cylinder
block and install rear timing chain case.
Make sure O-rings stay in place during installation to cylinder block and cylinder head.
e. Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the fig-
ure.
There are two type mounting bolts. Refer to the following for
locating bolts.
f. After all bolts are tightened, retighten them to the specified
torque in numerical order shown in the figure.
If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.Bolt length: Bolt position

g. After installing rear timing chain case, check the surface height
difference between the following parts on the oil pan (upper)
mounting surface.
If not within the standard, repeat the installation procedure.
3. Install water pump with new O-rings. Refer to CO-24, "
WATER PUMP" .
4. Make sure that dowel pin hole, dowel pin and crankshaft key are
located as shown in the figure. (No. 1 cylinder at compression
TDC)
NOTE:
Though camshaft does not stop at the position as shown in the
figure, for the placement of cam nose, it is generally accepted
camshaft is placed for the same direction of the figure.
CAUTION:
Hole on small dia. side must be used for intake side dowel pin hole. Do not misidentify (ignore big
dia. side).
5. Install timing chains (secondary) and camshaft sprockets as follows:
CAUTION:
Mating marks between timing chain and sprockets slip easily. Confirm all mating mark positions
repeatedly during the installation process.
a. Push plunger of timing chain tensioner (secondary) and keep it
pressed in with a stopper pin.Standard

ure.
Using a suitable drift [outer diameter: 60 mm (2.36 in)], press-
fit oil seal until it becomes flush with front timing chain case
end face.
Make sure the garter spring is in position and seal lip is not
inverted.

ComponentsNBS004OK
Checking Drive BeltsNBS004OL
WAR NING :
Be sure to perform when engine is stopped.
Remove air duct (inlet) when inspecting drive belt for alternator, water pump and A/C compressor.
Remove front engine undercover with power tool when inspecting power steering oil pump belt.
Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
(between three line notches).
NOTE:
Check auto tensioner indication when engine is cold.
When new drive belt is installed, the range should be “A”.
The indicator notch is located on the moving side of auto tensioner for alternator, water pump and A/C
compressor belt, while it is found on the fixed side for power steering oil pump belt.
Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace belt.
Te n s i o n A d j u s t m e n tNBS004OM
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by auto tensioner.
Removal and InstallationNBS004ON
REMOVAL
Alternator, Water Pump and A/C Compressor Belt
1. Remove air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-177, "AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
2. With box wrench, and while securely holding the hexagonal part
in pulley center of auto tensioner, move wrench handle in the
direction of arrow (loosening direction of tensioner).
CAUTION:
Avoid placing hand in a location where pinching may
occur if the holding tool accidentally comes off.
Do not loosen the hexagonal part in center of drive belt
auto tensioner pulley (Do not turn it clockwise). If turned
clockwise, the complete drive belt auto tensioner must
be replaced as a unit, including the pulley.
