  1. After turning the crankshaft 1/4 of a revolution in the counterclockwise direction, turn it in the clockwise direction until the timing marks are aligned.
    CAUTION: When tightening the fixing bolt, make sure that the tension pulley does not turn with the bolt.
  2. Loosen the tension pulley fixing bolt, and then use special tool MD998767 and a torque wrench to tighten the fixing bolt to the specified torque while applying tension to the timing belt.

    Timing belt tension torque: 3.5 N.m (31 in-lb) 

    Tightening torque: 48 +/- 6 N.m (36 +/- 4 ft-lb) 

  3. Remove the set pin that has been inserted into the auto-tensioner.

  4. Turn the crankshaft two revolutions clockwise so that the timing marks are aligned. After leaving it for 15 minutes, measure the amount of protrusion of the auto-tensioner.

    Standard value (A): 3.8 - 4.5 mm (0.15 - 0.18 inch) 

  5. If the amount of protrusion is outside the standard value, repeat steps ( 1) through ( 4).
  6. Check again to be sure that the timing marks of each sprocket are aligned.
