12. INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT
(1) Align the timing marks on the respective sprockets.
In case of the camshaft sprockets in the front bank,
I~
proceed as follows:@ Install the crankshaft pulley. Shift the timing mark
on the crankshaft sprocket by three teeth to lower
the piston in No. 1 cylinder slightly from the top
dead center on compression stroke.
CautionTurning the camshaft sprocket with the piston
in No. 1 cylinder located at TDC on compression
stroke may cause the valves to interfere with the
piston.@ Make sure that the timing marks on the camshaft
sprockets for intake and exhaust valves are not
within the range A in the illustration at left.
If the timing mark is within range A, turn the
camshaft sprocket to move the timing mark to the
area closest to the range A.
CautionIn range A, the cam lobe on the camshaft lifts
the valve through the rocker arm and the
camshaft sprocket is apt to rotate by reaction
force of the valve spring. Therefore, be careful
not to have the finger pinched between the
sprockets.@ Turn the camshaft sprocket for either the intake or
exhaust valve to locate the timing mark as shown in
\the illustration at left. Then turn the other crankshaft
to locate the timing mark-as shown in the illustration
at left.
CautionIf the intake and exhaust valves of the same
cylinder lift simultaneously, interference with
each other may result. Therefore, turn the intake
valve camshaft sprocket and the exhaust valve
camshaft alternately.@ Turn the camshaft sprocket clockwise to align the
timing marks.
If the camshaft sprocket has been turned excessive-
ly, turn it counterclockwise to align the timing
marks.

NOTEShift the timing mark of the crankshaft sprocket one
teeth in counterclockwise direction to facilitate belt
installation.

order with care not to allow the belt to slack.@ Exhaust camshaft sprocket (front bank side)
+ @
Intake camshaft sprocket (front bank side)
-+ @Waterpump pulley
+ @ Intake camshaft sprocket (rear bank
side)
+ @ Exhaust camshaft sprocket + @ Idler pulley
-+ @ Crankshaft sprocket + @ Tensioner pulley
NOTESince the camshaft sprockets turn easily, secure them
with box wrenches to install the timing belt.
Caution1. Be careful, the camshaft is turned by the reac-
tion of valve spring.
2.If the timing belt is reused, install it so that thearrow marks made at removal are in the direc-
tion of rotation.
(3) Turn the tensioner pulley so that its pin holes are
located above the center bolt. Then, press the tensioner
pulley against the timing belt and, at the same time,
temporarily tighten the center bolt.
(4) Check that the timing marks on all sprockets are aligned
properly.
(5) Remove the four clips.
. ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT TENSION
(1) Rotate the crankshaft
114 turn counterclockwise, then
rotate it clockwise until the timing marks are aligned.
(2) Loosen the center bolt on the tensioner pulley. Using
the special tool and torque wrench, apply tensioning
torque to the timing belt and, at the same time, tighten
the center bolt to specification.
Specified torque:
10 Nm (7 ftlbs.)
[Timing belt tensioning torque]
Caution
When tightening the center bolt, make sure that thetensioner pulley is not rotated together.
(3) Remove the set pin from the auto tensioner. At this
time, make sure that the set pin can be easily removed.
(4) Rotate the crankshaft two turns clockwise and leave it
as is for five minutes or more. Then, check again that
the set pin can be easily removed from, and installed to,
the auto tensioner.
NOTEEven if the set pin cannot be easily inserted, the auto
tensioner is normal if its rod protrusion is within
specification.
Standard value (A): 3.8
- 4.5 mm (.I49 - .I77 in.)
If the protrusion is out of specification, repeat steps (1)
to (4).
(5) Check again that timing marks on all sprockets are
aligned properly.

(1) Liberally coat engine oil on the circumference of the
piston, piston ring, and oil ring.

(2) Arrange the piston ring and oil ring gaps (side rail and
spacer) as shown in the illustration.
(3) Rotate crankshaft so that crank pin is on center of
cylinder bore.
(4) Use suitable thread protectors on connecting rod bolts
before inserting piston and connecting rod assembly
into cylinder block. Care must be taken not to nick crank
pin.(5) Using a suitable piston ring compressor tool, install
piston and connecting rod assembly into cylinder block.
Caution
Insert the pistons so that the front marks (arrows)on the piston tops point toward the front of the
engine (timing belt side).
2. INSTALLATION OF CONNECTING ROD CAP
(1) Install the connecting rod, aligning it with the mark
made or the connecting rod cap during disassembly.
When the connecting rod being installed is new and has
no alignment mark, install it so that the notches in the
connecting rod and cap are on the same side, as
illustrated.

OPERATIONl
The crank angle sensor senses the crank angle (piston position) of each cylinder, converts it into a pulse
signal and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes the engine speed and controls the fuelinjection timing and ignition timing based on the input signal.
lPower to the crank angle sensor is supplied from the control relay and is grounded to the body. The crank
angle sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly connects and disconnects between 5 V voltagesupplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: If unexpected shocks are felt during driving or the engine stalls suddenly during idling, shake the
crank angle sensor harness. If this causes the engine to stall, poor contact of the sensor connector is
suspected.Hint 2: If the crank angle sensor outputs a pulse signal when the ignition switch is turned ON (with the
engine not running), a faulty crank angle sensor or engine control unit is suspected.
Hint 3:
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, faulty crank angleHint 4:sensor or broken timing belt is suspected.
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, the primary current
of the ignition coil is not turned on and off. Therefore, troubles in the ignition circuit and ignition coil orfaulty power transistor is suspected.
Hint 5: If the engine can be run at idle even though the crank angle sensor reading is out of specification,troubles are often in other than the crank angle sensor.
[Examples](1) Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor
(2) Faulty idle speed control servo
(3) Poorly adjusted reference idle speed
