Toothed Belt and Timing Check

Removal
1. Remove the belts on the bracket for alternator.
2. Remove the fan.
3. Remove the V-belt for power steering.
4. Remove the V-belt for A/C.
5. Remove the fan belt.
6. Remove the fan shroud.

7. Remove the crankshaft pulley while counterholding on
the fastening bolt of toothed belt drive gear.
8. Remove the toothed belt from cover.

Inspection
1. Turn the crankshaft in the engine rotational direction
mark(2) so that the notch (1) on the camshaft gear aligns
with the mark on toothed belt rear cover.
2. Check the timing belt for worn, cracks or oil adhesion.

3. Check that the cast on the water pump aligns with the
counterpart on cylinder block (arrowed).
4. The tension of a toothed belt is correctly adjusted when
the pointer and the center of the notch are aligned(I).
The tension of a run-in toothed belt (regardless of
mileage covered) is correctly adjusted when the pointer
is positioned approx. 4mm (0.16 in.) to the left of the
center of the notch(II).
Check the condition of the run-in toothed belt for
suitability for reuse. Only toothed belts of the toothed
belt tension rollers must be replaced and the source of oil
contamination must be eliminated.

Service Precaution
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.


Water pump
The water pump is centrifugal type and is driven by timing belt.


Thermostat
The thermostat is a bypass type and is a wax pellet type with a
air hole.





110RS001
Radiator
The radiator is a flow type with corrugated fins.
