ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE B Stem After Installation 10. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply spring tension to the timing belt. 11. Tighten the tensioner lock bolt. Tightening torque: 38-51 N-m (3.8-5.3 kgf.m, 28--38 ftlbf) 12. Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt. 13. Turn the crankshaft 2 and 116 turns clockwise and verify that the timing marks are correctly aligned. 14. Measure the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 Ibf) midway between the cam- shaft pulleys. If the deflection is not correct, repeat from Step 10 above. Deflection: 9.0-11.5mm (0.36-4.45 in) at 98 N (10 kgf, 22 Ibf) Pulley lock bolt Hold the crankshaft with the SST and tighten the pulley lock bolt. Tightening torque: 157-166 N.m (16-17 kgf.m, 116-122 ftlbf) 1. till the radiator with specified amount and type of engine coolant. (Refer to section E.) 2. Connect the negative battery cable. 3. Start the engine and check, and if necessary, adjust the ignition timing. Gartner Banana

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET Replacement Warning e Fuel line spills and leaks are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety Procedures" on section F. Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Drain the engine coolant.
