Inspection (1.6L)

  1. Inspect belt teeth for cracks, damage, or oil contamination. Inspect all sprockets for damage. Inspect tensioner pulley and idler pulley for grease leakage or rough rotation. Replace defective components.
  2. Inspect automatic tensioner for leaks. Examine end of tensioner rod for wear. Measure distance from end of tensioner rod to tensioner housing. Distance should be .47" (11.9 mm).
  3. Examine plug at bottom of tensioner. If plug protrudes past housing, place a washer over plug to prevent it from contacting vise when pushing rod into tensioner housing.
  4. Place tensioner assembly in a soft-faced vise. Press rod back into automatic tensioner. Replace tensioner if rod can be pushed easily into automatic tensioner.
CAUTION: Install flange and crankshaft sprocket in correct orientation, to prevent damage to timing belt.
WARNING: This applies to 1.6L DOHC. Timing Belt Installation procedures has been revised. See Technical Service Bulletin TSB-89-11-002 IMPROVED DOHC TIMING BELT INSTALLATION for correct procedure.
