Tensioner Removal Note

1.  Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing marks as shown.

2.  Turn the auto tensioner counterclockwise using an Allen wrench. (Rotate the auto tensioner with a force of 39 N·m {4.0 kgf·m, 28.8 ft·lbf} or less.)

3.  Insert a fixing pin of approx. 6mm {0.24 in} diameter into hole A to secure the auto tensioner.

Caution

•  When removing the tensioner, make sure that the tensioner cylinder is not separated from the pulley.

4.  Remove the bolts in the order of B and C, then remove the auto tensioner.

Note

•  If the rod projects suddenly while removing the auto tensioner, the air flows into the pressure chamber and the rod could move slightly. If this occurs, bleed the air from the pressure chamber using the following procedure.

5.  Assemble the auto tensioner to the engine.

6.  Turn the auto tensioner with a force of 39 N·m {4.0 kgf·m, 28.8 ft·lbf} or less using an Allen wrench, then turn it back slowly. Repeat this procedure several times.

7.  Verify that the rod has resistance when it is in the most projected position. If there is no resistance, repeat the above procedure.

Timing Belt Removal Note

Caution

•  The following will damage the timing belt and shorten its life; forcefully twisting it, turning it inside out, or getting oil or grease on it.

•  After removing the timing belt, do not move the crankshaft and/or camshaft pulley from this position because it can cause the valve and piston to contact and damage them.

1.  Mark the timing belt rotation on the belt for proper reinstallation.

Timing Belt Installation Note

1.  Align the timing marks as shown.

2.  Verify that the supply pump attaching bolts and nuts are tightened to the specified torque. This must be done to prevent over-tensioning of the timing belt after it has been installed.

3.  Install the tensioner and hand-tighten the lock bolt A and B.

4.  Install the timing belt.

5.  Install the idler.

6.  Tighten the lock bolt A.

7.  Tighten the lock bolt B.

8.  Remove the set pin from the tensioner.

9.  Turn the crankshaft clockwise twice, and align the camshaft pulley timing marks. If they are not aligned, remove the timing belt and repeat from Step 1.

Timing Belt Cover Installation Note

1.  Tighten the timing belt cover bolts in the order shown.
