Warning
•  Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
•  Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

1.  Remove the battery cover. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

2.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

2.  Verify that the No.1 piston is at TDC of the compression stroke. (The position counterweight contacts the SST.)

3.  To position the crankshaft pulley, temporarily tighten it and, using a suitable bolt (M6 X 1.0), fix the crankshaft pulley to the engine front cover.

5.  Tighten the crankshaft pulley lock bolt in the following two steps using the SST (49 D032 316).

Tightening torque
Step 1: 96—104 N·m {9.8—10 kgf·m, 71—76 ft·lbf}
Step 2: 87—93°

6.  Remove the bolt (M6 X 1.0) installed to the crankshaft pulley.

7.  Remove the SST from the camshaft.

8.  Remove the SST installed to the cylinder block lower blind plug hole.

9.  Verify that the teeth of the crankshaft pulley pulse wheel and the detection area of the crankshaft position sensor are installed to the correct positions. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR INSPECTION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

10.  Rotate the crankshaft clockwise two turns and inspect the valve timing.

•  If not aligned, loosen the crankshaft pulley lock bolt and repeat from Step 1.

11.  Install the cylinder block lower blind plug.
