attention to its direction.

30. INSTALLATION OF SPACER
(1) Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the outer circumfer-
ence of the spacer.
(2) Install the spacer with the chamfered end facing the oil
seal.
NOTEIf the spacer is installed adversely, the oil seal may be
damaged, resulting in the oil leaks.
28. INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT “B”(1) Ensure that crankshaft sprocket “B” timing mark and
the silent shaft sprocket timing mark are aligned.
(2) Fit timing belt “B” over crankshaft sprocket “B” and
the silent shaft sprocket. Ensure that there is no slack inthe belt.+

arily secure tensioner.
19. INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT(1) Ensure that the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket,
the crankshaft sprocket, and the oil pump sprocket are
all aligned.(2) When aligning the timing mark of the oil pump
sprocket, remove the plug of the cylinder block; then
insert the shaft of a cross-tip (+) screwdriver with a
shaft diameter of 8 mm
(.31 in.) into the plug hole and
check to be sure that the screwdriver’s shaft can be
inserted at least 60 mm (2.36 in.). Do not remove the
screwdriver until the timing belt is completely attached.If the screwdriver’s shaft can be inserted only to a
depth of about 20 to 25 mm
(.79 to .98 in.) because it
contacts the silent shaft, turn the sprocket by one
rotation and align the timing mark once again; then
check again to be sure that the screwdriver’s shaft can
be inserted at least 60 mm (2.36 in.).
(3) Install timing belt. While making sure that tension side
of belt is not slackened, install timing belt onto
crankshaft sprocket, oil pump sprocket and camshaft
sprocket in that order.
Caution
If the timing belt is reused, install so that the arrow
marked on it at the time of removal is pointing in
the clockwise direction..
ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT TENSION
(1) Loosen tensioner mounting nut. By so doing, tensioner
will be moved by spring and will apply tension to belt.
(2) Recheck to be sure that each sprocket’s timing mark is
correct.

x 38(.23 x 1.50)(3) Turn the crankshaft clockwise by two teeth of the
camshaft sprocket.
Caution
As the purpose of this procedure is to apply the
proper amount of tension on the timing belt, be
sure not to rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise
or place pressure on the belt to check the amount of
tension.(4) Apply force on tensioner toward turning direction, (in
the direction of the arrow) such that no portion of the
belt raises out in portion A, place the belt on the
camshaft sprocket such that the belt sprocket teeth arefully engaged.
(5) Tighten the tensioner installation bolt and tensioner
spacer in that order.
Caution
If the tensioner spacer is tightened first, the ten-
sioner will rotate with it and belt tension be thrown
out of adjustment. Always tighten the bolt first.(6) Check to see that the clearance between the outside of
the belt and the cover are within the standard value by
grasping the tension side (between the camshaft
sprocket and oil pump sprocket) of the centre part of
the timing belt between the thumb and index finger.
Standard value: 12 mm (.40 in.)

9. REMOVAL OF ROCKER ARM AND SHAFT ASSEMBLYBefore removing the rocker arm and shaft assembly, use
the special tool to ensure that the lash adjuster doesn’t fall
out.
Caution
Put the rocker arms and lash adjusters in order in
cylinder No. separated places with clear distinction
between the intake and exhaust ones to prevent
confusion.
INSPECTION

(1) Visually check the camshaft journal surfaces and replace if
damage or seizure is evident.
If the journal is seized, check the cylinder head for possibledamage. Check also for clogged oil holes in the cylinder
head.
(2) Check cams for excessive wear and damage and replace if
defects are evident. Measure the cam height and replace ifthe limit is not reached.
