>> F << Timing Belt "B" Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Align timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket "B" and counterbalance shaft sprocket with the marks on the front case.
- Install the timing belt "B" on the crankshaft sprocket "B" and counterbalance shaft sprocket. There should be no slack on the tension side.
- Make sure that the tensioner pulley center and the bolt center are positioned as shown in the illustration.
- Move tensioner "B" in the direction of the arrow while lifting with your finger to give sufficient tension to the tension side of timing belt. In this condition, tighten the bolt to secure tensioner "B". When the bolt is tightened, use care to prevent the tensioner pulley shaft from turning with the bolt. If the shaft is turned with the bolt, the belt will be over tensioned.
- Tightening torque: 19 +/- 3 N.m (14 +/- 2 ft-lb)
- Check that timing marks on the sprockets are aligned with the timing marks on the front case.
- With your index finger, press the midway of span on the tension side of timing belt "B". The bolt must deflect 5 to 7 mm (0.20 to 0.28 inch).
