Caution
•  applying excessive tension can break the timing belt. Be sure not to apply tension other than that of the tensioner spring.

3.  Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply tension to the timing belt.

4.  Turn the crankshaft clockwise twice and verify that the timing belt pulley mark and camshaft pulley mark are aligned with the timing marks.

•  If no, repeat from Timing Belt Removal Note. (See Timing Belt Removal Note.)
Caution
•  Prevent the tensioner from moving with the tensioner lock bolt as it is turned. Other Wise tension will become very high and the timing belt may break.

5.  Tighten the tensioner lock bolt.

6.  Inspect the timing belt deflection at the point indicated by applying moderate pressure 98 N {10 kgf, 22 lbf}.
