TIMING BELT INSTALLATION





1. Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprockets and crankshaft sprocket.
2. Install the timing belt by the following procedure so that there is no deflection in the timing belt between each sprocket and pulley.
1. Crankshaft sprocket
2. Idler pulley
3. Camshaft sprocket (left bank)
4. Water pump pulley
5. Camshaft sprocket (right bank)
6. Tension pulley

CAUTION: The camshaft sprocket (right bank) can turn easily due to the spring force applied, so be careful not to get your fingers caught.

3. Turn the camshaft sprocket (right bank) counterclockwise until the tension side of the timing belt is firmly stretched, and then check again that all timing marks are aligned.
