Installation
Fig. 28 Exploded View:
1. Clean all parts prior to assembly. Fig. 28.
CAUTION: Do not clean tensioners, belts or sealed bearings in any type of liquid solvent.
If oil, grease, solvent or coolant contaminates the belt, it should be replaced.
The tensioner's bearings are lubricated and sealed at the factory. The lubrication can be washed out when they are cleaned with solvent.

NOTE: If the spacer is installed incorrectly the oil seal will be damaged.
Fig. 12a Timing Marks:
4. Align the right silent shaft with the timing mark. Fig. 12a.

Fig. 13 Installing Timing Belt "B" Tensioner:
7. Install the "B" timing belt tensioner with the flanged side towards the engine and tighten the bolt slightly. Fig. 13.
Fig. 14 Adjusting Timing Belt "B" Tension:
8. Push the tensioner upwards until the belt is taut and torque the bolt. Fig. 14.
Torque Value:
11 - 16 ft.lbs (15 - 22 Nm.)
CAUTION: The tensioner may turn when tightening the bolt, causing excessive tension on the belt.
Fig. 11a Timing Belt Deflection:
9. Using your index finger with moderate pressure, check the belt deflection at the point indicated. Fig. 11a.
Belt Deflection:
.20 - .28 in. (5 - 7 mm)
10. If necessary, re-adjust the belt tension.
Fig. 16 Installing Crankshaft Sprocket:
11. Install the crankshaft "A" sprocket with the belt flange towards the engine. Fig. 16.
Fig. 17 Installing Timing Belt "A" Tensioner:
12. Install the timing belt "A" tensioner spring, tensioner spacer and tensioner with the end of the spring resting against the water pump housing.. Fig. 17.
Fig. 18 Positioning Timing Belt Tensioner "A" For Installation Of Timing Belt:
13. Push the tensioner towards the water pump and tighten the bolt slightly (to hold the tensioner out of the way). Fig. 18.
Fig. 2 Timing Marks:
14. Align the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets with their respective timing marks. Fig. 19.
Fig. 20 Checking Left Silent Shaft Timing:
15. From under the vehicle. remove the bolt/plug at the back of the left silent shaft casting on the engine block. Fig. 20.
16. Insert a Phillips head screwdriver (shaft diameter .31 in./8 mm) into the opening. Fig. 20.
a. If the screw driver can be inserted more than 2.36 in., the shaft is in the correct position. Fig. 20.
a. If the screwdriver can only be inserted approximately 3/4 in., turn the shaft one rotation and recheck. Fig. 20.
NOTE: The left silent shaft operates via a gear reduction assembly. It is possible to have the timing marks aligned and the shaft may still be out-of-time. If the gear returns to the mark when turned a 1/4 inch in each direction off center, the timing is correct. If the engine vibrates after assembly, the timing of the left silent shaft may be incorrect.
17. Do not remove the screw driver once the correct timing is attained.
Fig. 21 Timing Belt "A" Tension Inspection Area:
18. Install the "A" timing belt (noting rotation direction marked on the belt, the belt rotates in the clockwise direction) with tension on the correct side. Fig. 21.
Fig. 22 Adjusting Timing Belt "A" Tension:
19. Loosen the tensioner mounting bolts. The tensioner spring will move the tensioner towards the belt. Fig. 22.
20. Recheck all timing marks on the sprockets, if they are correct proceed to the next step. If not re-align them before proceeding. Fig. 19.
NOTE: The next step is used to apply the correct tension on the "A" timing belt. DO NOT ROTATE THE ENGINE COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
Fig. 23 Rotating Crankshaft Two Teeth:
21. Turn the crankshaft clockwise by two (2) teeth on the camshaft sprocket. Fig. 23.
Fig. 24 Holding Tensioner In Position While Tightening:
22. Apply force to the tensioner in the direction shown so that no portion of the belt in the area indicated by the letter "A" raises off of the sprocket. Fig. 24.
23. Torque the top nut on the tensioner first and then the bottom bolt. (if the fasteners are not tightened in that order, the tensioner will rotate, allowing the belt to be loose). Fig. 24.
Torque Value:
16 - 22 ft.lbs. (22 - 30 Nm)
Fig. 25 Checking Timing Belt "A" Clearance:
24. Check the clearance between the outside of the belt and the belt cover on the tension side. Fig. 25.
Clearance:
.40 in. (12 mm).
25. Remove the screwdriver from the silent shaft access and install and torque the bolt/plug. Fig. 20.
Torque value:
