Timing Belt: Testing and Inspection

Timing Belt Inspection





1. Remove the timing belt cover (LH).
2. While cranking the engine at least four rotations, check the timing belt back surface for cracks or damage. Replace the faulty timing belt as needed.
3. Measure the timing belt width W. If it is less than 30 mm (1.18 in), check idlers, tensioner, water pump pulley and cam sprocket to determine idler alignment (squareness). Replace the worn timing belt.
4. Install the timing belt cover (LH).
