(1) Align timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket
and
counterbalance shaft sprocket with the marks on the front
case respectively.
(2) Install the timing belt on the crankshaft sprocket
and counterbalance shaft sprocket. There should be no
slack on the tension side.
(3) Make sure that the relationship between, the te nsioner
pulley center and the bolt center is as shown in th e
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 When the bolt is tightened, use care to
prevent shaft from turning together. If shaft is tu rned
together, belt will be

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS
There are numerous places where form-in-place gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be
when applying form-in-place gaskets to assure obtaining the desired results. size, continuity, ‘and
location are of great importance. Too thin a bead can result in leakage
too much can result’ in
spill-over which can break off and obstruct fluid f eed lines.
A continuous bead of the proper width
essential to obtain a leak-free joint.
GASKET DISASSEMBLY
Parts assembled with form-in-place gaskets may be d isassembled without unusual effort’
it may be necessary to lightly tap the part with a mallet or other suitable tool to break the seal between
the mating surfaces.A flat gasket scraper may also be lightly tapped in to the joint but care be
taken not to damage the mating surfaces.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Scrape clean or wire brush all gasketsurfaces removing all loose material. Inspect
assure gasket rails are flat.
Flatten rails with a hammer on a flat plate if

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET APPLICATION
Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket requires care but it’s easier than using precut gaskets.
Gasket material should be applied sparingly 1 mm

surface, Be certain the material surrounds each mou nting hole.
Excess material can easily be
‘off. Components should be torqued in place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel is recommen ded
during assembly, to prevent smearing the material off location.

Background
lThe speed sensor serves as a PCM input switching voltage between 0 and 5volts.lOnce the vehicle is in motion and the throttle is open, information from the sensor is
sampled every 11 milliseconds and compared to a min imum threshold equal to 1 mph.
lIf the sensors output voltage indicates a speed higher than this threshold, the sensor
is considered to be operating normally.
lFailure of the sensor would be quite noticeable bec ause the speedometer would fail tooperate.Diagnostic features that depend on the speed sensor may never execute if this component
fails.
