Timing Belt: Service Precautions






CAUTION
^ The following will damage the belt and shorten its life:
- Forcefully twisting it.
- Turning it inside out.
- Bending it.
- Allowing oil or grease on it.
^ The crankshaft position sensor rotor is on the rear of the pulley, and can be damaged easily.
^ Silicone sealant hardens and causes oil leakage when it is left for an extended period of time. Therefore, install parts before sealant hardens.
