Sprocket(S), Timing Belt And Chain: Installation: Installation
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.
- Install the (special tool #10276, Tool, Crankshaft Timing Locking) (1) with three bolts (3) tightened to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.) and one bolt (2) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- If removed, install the (special tool #10277, Tool, Camshaft Timing Locking) (1) to the rear of the camshaft. Install three bolts (2) and tighten to 20 N.m (15 ft. lbs.).
- Use the (special tool #6847, Holder, Camshaft Sprocket) (2) to hold the camshaft sprocket (3) and loosen the bolt (1). The camshaft sprocket (3) should now be free to rotate on the camshaft.
NOTE:
If the original timing belt (1) 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.).
- Use the (special tool #6847, Holder, Camshaft Sprocket) (2) to hold the camshaft sprocket (3) and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt (1) to 120 N.m (88 ft. lbs.).
- Remove the (special tool #10277, Tool, Camshaft Timing Locking) and the (special tool #10276, Tool, Crankshaft Timing Locking).
- Rotate the crankshaft clockwise at least two complete revolutions to center the timing belt on the sprockets.
- Verify that the silver tab (2) is still centered in the middle of the window. If required, loosen the tensioner lock nut (3), readjust the timing belt tensioner (2) and tighten the lock nut (3) to 28 N.m (21 ft. lbs.).
NOTE:
Reinstall the timing locking tools to verify correct camshaft timing.
- Install the (special tool #10277, Tool, Camshaft Timing Locking) (1) to the rear of the camshaft. Install three bolts (2) and tighten to 20 N.m (15 ft. lbs.).
- Install the (special tool #10276, Tool, Crankshaft Timing Locking) (1) with three bolts (3) tightened to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.) and one bolt (2) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).NOTE:
If the bolt (2) does not align with the lower timing belt cover mounting boss, the camshaft timing is not correct. Loosen the tensioner lock nut and the camshaft sprocket bolt and repeat this procedure.
- Remove the (special tool #10277, Tool, Camshaft Timing Locking) and the (special tool #10276, Tool, Crankshaft Timing Locking).
- Install the lower timing belt cover (1) with bolt (2) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- Install the RH engine mount bracket (1) with six bolts (2) tightened to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Install the upper timing belt cover (1) with two bolts (2 and 3) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- Install the RH engine mount isolator (3) and support bracket (1) to the engine mount bracket with three bolts. Tighten the isolator to engine bracket bolts in the sequence shown in illustration to 60 N.m (44 ft. lbs.).
- Install the RH engine mount isolator (3) to the body with three bolts (2). Tighten the isolator to body bolts (2) to 60 N.m (44 ft. lbs.).
- Install the pressurized coolant bottle (5). Refer to BOTTLE, PRESSURIZED COOLANT, INSTALLATION .
- Install the vacuum pump (1). Refer to PUMP, VACUUM, REMOVAL .
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING .
- If equipped with a manual transmission, install the rear engine mount isolator (7) to the transmission with the rear engine mount bracket bolt (3) and nut (6) tightened to 80 N.m (59 ft. lbs.) and tighten the isolator bolt (1) to 130 N.m (96 ft. lbs.).
- If equipped with an automatic transmission, install the rear engine mount isolator (5) in the bracket (3) with two bolts (4) tighten to 60 N.m (44 ft. lbs.). Install the isolator bolt (1) and tighten to 130 N.m (96 ft. lbs.).
- Position the (special tool #10307, Holder, Crankshaft Sprocket) (1) against the accessory bracket boss (4) as shown in illustration.
- Rotate the crankshaft until the vibration damper locating pin is centered in the clearance hole (3).
- Install the (special tool #10307, Holder, Crankshaft Sprocket) (1) with three bolts (2) tightened to 25 N.m (15 ft. lbs.).
- With the (special tool #10307, Holder, Crankshaft Sprocket) (1) resting against the accessory bracket boss (3), initially tighten the crankshaft bolt to 20 N.m (15 ft. lbs.).
- Using a torque angle measuring device, such as OTC Torque Angle Gauge 4554 (2), tighten the crankshaft bolt an additional 110°.
- Install the vibration damper (1). Refer to DAMPER, VIBRATION, INSTALLATION .
- Install the accessory drive belt (4). Refer to BELT, SERPENTINE, INSTALLATION .
