Inspection (2.0L DOHC)

  1. Check belt teeth for damage and oil contamination. Inspect belt for glossy, hardened or non-elastic surface. Ensure belt is not cracked, separated or showing canvas fiber.
  2. Inspect all sprockets for damage. Check tensioner pulley and idler pulley for grease leakage and roughness in rotation. Replace components if damaged.
  3. Inspect automatic tensioner for leaks. Check rod end of automatic tensioner for wear. Measure distance from tensioner rod end to tensioner housing. Distance should be .47" (11.9 mm).
    NOTE: If plug at bottom of tensioner protrudes past tensioner housing, place a washer over plug to prevent it from contacting vise when pushing rod into tensioner housing.
  4. Retract rod into tensioner housing by placing automatic tensioner assembly in a soft-jawed vise. Close vise to push rod back into tensioner. Replace automatic tensioner assembly if rod can be easily pushed into automatic tensioner.
