ETIMING BELT “B” REMOVAL
Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating the
direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the same
direction if it is to be reused.
NOTE
(1) Water or oil on the belt shortens its life drastically, so
the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner must
be free from oil and water. These parts should not be
washed. Replace parts if seriously contaminated.
(2) If there is oil or water on each part check front case
oil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for leaks.
FCOUNTERBALANCE SHAFT SPROCKET
REMOVAL
(1) Set the special tool as shown to prevent the
counterbalance shaft sprocket from turning together.
(2) Loosen the bolt and remove the sprocket.
GCRANKSHAFT SPROCKET “B” REMOVAL
If it is difficult to remove the sprocket, use the special tool.
HCAMSHAFT SPROCKET BOLT LOOSENING
Use a wrench to hold the hexagonal part of the camshaft,
and then remove the camshaft sprocket mounting bolt.

GTIMING BELT “B” INSTALLATION
(1) Align timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket “B” and
counterbalance shaft sprocket with the marks on the front
case respectively.
(2) Install the timing belt “B” on the crankshaft sprocket “B”
and counterbalance shaft sprocket. There should be no
slack on the tension side.
(3) Make sure that the relationship between the tensioner
pulley center and the bolt center is as shown in the
illustration.
(4) Move the tensioner “B” in the direction of arrow while
lifting with a finger to give a sufficient tension to the tension
side of timing belt. In this condition, tighten bolt to secure
tensioner “B”. When the bolt is tightened, use care to
prevent shaft from turning together. If shaft is turned
together, belt will be overtensioned.
(5) Check to ensure that timing marks on sprockets and front
case are in alignment.
(6) Press with index finger the center of span on the tension
side of timing belt “B”. The bolt must deflect 5 – 7 mm.
HCRANKSHAFT BOLT TIGHTENING
(1) Using the special tool, hold the flywheel or drive plate.
(2) Install the crankshaft pulley in position.

(4) Tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
JAUTO TENSIONER INSTALLATION
(1) If the auto tensioner rod is in its fully extended position,
reset it as follows.
(2) Clamp the auto-tensioner in the vise with soft jaws.
(3) Push in the rod little by little with the vise until the set
hole A in the rod is aligned with the hole B in the cylinder.
(4) Insert a wire (1.4 mm in diameter) into the set holes.
(5) Unclamp the auto tensioner from the vise.
(6) Install the auto tensioner to front case and tighten to
the specified torque.
Caution
Leave the wire installed in the auto tensioner.
KTENSIONER PULLEY INSTALLATION
Install the tensioner pulley in such direction that its two small
holes are arranged vertically.

ALASH ADJUSTER INSTALLATION
Caution
If the lash adjuster is re-used, clean the lash adjuster.
Fit the lash adjuster onto rocker arm without allowing diesel
fuel to spill out.
BCAMSHAFT INSTALLATION
(1) Apply engine oil to the journals and cams of the camshafts.
Install the camshafts on the cylinder head.
Use care not to confuse the intake camshaft with the
exhaust one. The intake camshaft has a slit on its rear
end for driving the crankshaft position sensor.
(2) Install the crankshaft sprocket B or spacer and flange
to one end of the crankshaft, and turn the crankshaft
until the timing marks are lined up, setting No. 1 cylinder
to the TDC.
(3) Set the camshafts so that their dowel pins are positioned
at top.
CBEARING CAP INSTALLATION
(1) According to the identification mark stamped on the top
of each bearing cap, install the caps to the cylinder head.
Only “L” or “R” is stamped on front bearing cap. Cap
No. is stamped on No. 2 to No. 5 bearing caps. Rear
bearing cap has no stamping.
I: For intake camshaft side
E: For exhaust camshaft side
(2) Tighten the bearing caps in the order shown two to three
times by torquing progressively.
Tighten to the specification in the final sequence.
(3) Check to ensure that the rocker arm is positioned correctly
on the lash adjuster and valve stem end.
