CAUTION:

When the timing belt is removed and the cylinder head is still installed, DO NOT rotate the camshaft or crankshaft without first locating the proper crankshaft position. Failure to do so will result in valve and/or piston damage.

Align the crankshaft sprocket locator key to the crankshaft keyway and install the sprocket (1) with a new bolt (2) on the crankshaft. Hand tighten the bolt (2) at this time. The bolt (2) will be tightened to specification after the timing belt is installed.

NOTE:
If the original timing belt is being reused, install the belt so that it maintains the same direction of rotation as when it was removed.
Install the timing belt starting with the crankshaft sprocket, then the water pump sprocket, finishing with the camshaft sprocket.
Install the timing belt tensioner (1) and adjust the tensioner so that the silver tab (2) is centered in the middle of the window. Tighten the lock nut (3) to 28 N.m (21 ft. lbs.).
