Timing Belt Installation

INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT

1. Install timing belt to engine compartment.
(a) Insert the timing belt.

NOTE: If reusing the timing belt, install with the arrow pointing in the direction of engine revolution.

(b) Slowly lower the engine. Install the RH engine mounting bolt and two insulator nuts. Torque the nuts and bolt.

Torque: 800 kg-cm (58 ft-lb, 78 N.m)

(C) Install the four mounting bolts and two covers.

Torque: 400 kg-cm (29 ft-lb, 39 N.m)

(d) Set off the jack.

2. Install camshaft timing pulley.

(a) Align the camshaft knock pin and camshaft timing pulley.
(b) Secure the camshaft and tighten the camshaft timing pulley bolt.

Torque: 475 kg-cm (34 ft-lb, 47 N.m)

(c) Align the bearing cap mark and the center of the small hole on the camshaft timing pulley.

NOTE: Remove any oil or water on the camshaft timing pulley and keep it clean.

3. Install cylinder head cover with gasket.
(a) Apply seal packing to the cam bearing cap No. 1 on both sides and half circle plug on both sides.

Seal packing: Part No. O8826-OOO8O or equivalent

NOTE: Clean the indicated portions by removing the original sealant before recoating.

(b) Install the half circle plug.
(c) Install the cylinder head cover with the two insulators and bolts.
(d) Install the PCV hose.

4. Install crankshaft timing pulley.
Install the crankshaft timing pulley and align the TDC marks on the oil pump body and crankshaft timing pulley.

NOTE: Remove any oil or water on the crankshaft timing pulley and keep it clean.

5. Install timing belt idler pulley.
(a) Temporarily install the timing belt idler pulley with the mount bolt.
(b) Install the tension spring.
(c) Pry the timing belt idler pulley toward the left as far as it will go and temporarily tighten it.

NOTE: Remove any oil or water on the idler pulley and keep It clean.

6. Install timing belt.

NOTE: if reusing the timing belt, align the points marked during removal and install the belt with the arrow pointing in the direction of engine revolution.

7. Check valve timing and timing belt tension.

(a) Loosen the timing belt idler pulley mount bolt.

(b) Temporarily install the crank pulley bolt and turn the crankshaft two revolutions from TDC to TDC.

NOTE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.

(d) Tighten the timing belt idler pulley mounting bolt.

Torque: 375 kg-cm (27 ft-lb, 37 N.m)

(e) Measure the timing belt deflection as shown in the figure

Timing belt deflection: 6 - 7 mm (0.24 - 0.28 in. at 2 kg (4.4 lb, 20 N)

(f) If the measured value is not within standard, readjust with the idler pulley.
(g) Remove the temporarily installed crank pulley bolt.

8. Install timing belt guide.
9. Install No.2 timing belt covers with gasket.
10. Install crankshaft pulley.
(a) Apply a light coating of engine oil on the threads and heads under of the pulley set bolt.
(b) Align the pulley set key with the key groove of the pulley and install.

(c) Using SST 09213-14010 and 09330-00021, install and torque the mount bolt.

Torque: 1,200 kg-cm (87 ft-lb 118 N.m)

11. Install No.3 timing belt cover with gasket.

15. Install bracket A/C compressor and drive belt.
16. Install alternator and drive belt.
17. Tighten four water pump pulley bolts.
18. Connect radiator inlet hose.

19. Adjust drive belts.
Using a belt tension gauge, check the drive belt tension.
20. Refill with coolant.
21. Start engine and check for leaks.
22. Install RH under cover.
23. Install RH wheel.
