Timing Belt: Inspection

  1. Inspect timing belt for wear on rounded edges of drive teeth. Inspect belt for signs of oil contamination. Replace belt if it is damaged or contaminated. Inspect belt tensioner adjuster oil seals for leaks. Inspect rod ends for abnormal wear and scratches. Timing belt bend radius must be greater than 2.36" (60.0 mm). See Fig 1 .
  2. Slight trace of oil at rod oil seal does not indicate a problem. While holding tensioner with both hands, push rod section against floor or wall using a force of 33-110 lbs. (15-50 kg) to ensure rod section does not move.
  3. If rod section moves, replace tensioner adjuster with a NEW one. Measure extension of rod beyond body. Rod extension should be .606-.646" (15.40-16.40 mm). Replace belt tensioner adjuster if extension of rod is not as specified. Inspect belt tensioner and belt adjuster rod mating surface. Check spacer and tensioner bushing for wear.
