Timing Belt Installation

INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT

1. Install camshaft timing pulleys.





(a) Position the knock pin of the camshafts as shown in the figure.
(b) Align the camshaft knock pin with the knock pin groove of the pulley, and slide the pulley, facing the timing mark upward.





(c) Secure the hexagonal portion of the camshaft, and install the plate washer and bolt. Torque the bolt.

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

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the cylinder head with the wrench.

2. Install cylinder head covers with gasket.





(a) Apply seal packing to the cylinder head as shown in the figure.

Seal packing: Part No 08826-00080 or equivalent.

(b) Install the gaskets to the head covers.
(c) Install the two head covers with the four seal washers and cap nuts.

Torque: 130 kg.cm. (9 ft.lb., 13 N-m).

(d) Install the gasket to the center cover.
(e) Install the center cover with the four bolts.
Connect the following wires:
- Distributor wire connector.
- Engine compartment cooling fan motor connector.
- Oil pressure sender gauge connector.
- (w/ A/C) Compressor connector.
- Noise filter connector.

3. (w/Cruise control) Install accelerator link.





(a) Install the accelerator link with the three bolts.
(b) Connect the accelerator rod.
(c) Connect cruise control cable.

4. Install PCV hose.
5. Connect accelerator cable.
6. (A/T vehicle) Connect A/T throttle cable.
7, Install oil cooler hose.
8. Install crankshaft timing pulley.





Align the pulley set key with the key groove of the pulley, and slide the pulley on.

9. Temporarily install idler pulley and tension spring.





(a) Install the pulley with the bolt. Do not tighten the bolt yet.
(b) Install the tension spring.
(c) Pry the pulley toward the left as far as it will go and tighten the bolt.

10. Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/compression.





(a) Align the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and No.4 timing belt cover by turning the camshafts.
(b) Align the timing marks of the crankshaft timing pulley and oil pump body by turning the crankshaft.

11. Install timing belt.

CAUTION: The engine should be cold.





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.





Install the timing belt, insuring the tension between the intake camshaft and crankshaft timing pulleys.

12. Check vale timing and timing belt deflection.





(a) Slowly loosen the idler pulley bolt.





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

NOTE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.





(c) Check that each pulley aligns with the timing marks as shown in the figure. If the marks do not align, remove the timing belt and reinstall it.





(d) Torque the idler pulley bolt.

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





(e) Check that there is belt deflection at the position indicated in the figure.

Deflection: 4 mm (0.16 in.) at 2 kg (4.4 lb, 20 N-m).





If the deflection is not as specified adjust with the idler pulley.
(f) Remove the temporarily installed crankshaft pulley bolt.

13. Install timing belt guide.





Install the guide, facing the cup side outward.

14. Install timing belt covers.
(a) Install the gaskets to the belt covers.





(b) Install the No.1, No.2 and No.3 belt covers with the ten bolts.

NOTE: Each bolt length is indicated in the figure.

15. Install crankshaft pulley.
(a) Align the pulley set key with the key groove of the pulley, slide the pulley.





(b) Using SST 09213-70010 and 09330-00021, install and torque the the bolt.

Torque: 1,400 kg.cm. (101 ft.lb., 137 N-m).

16. Install RH engine mounting insulator.





(a) Install the RH engine mounting insulator to the engine with the two nuts and bolt.
(b) Align the RH mounting insulator into the bracket and temporarily install the mounting through bolt.
(c) Lower the engine and remove the jack.





(d) Tighten the mounting through bolt.

Torque: 600 kg.cm. (43 ft.lb., 58 N-m).

(e) Connect the brake booster vacuum hose to the intake manifold.
(f) Connect the high-tension cords to the ignition coil.

17. Install spark plugs.
18. Install water pump pulley and drive belt.





(a) Install the water pump pulley with the four bolts.
(b) Install and adjust drive belts.
(c) Stretch the belt tight and tighten the four pulley bolt.

19. Install and adjust alternator drive belt.
20. Install engine under cover.
21. Install RH wheel.
