      NOTE: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley set at the wrong angle can cause contact of the piston head with the valve head when removing the camshaft timing pulley and camshaft, which causes damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
4. Remove the timing belt tensioner.
   NOTE: Do not reinstall the tensioner with its plunger extended.
5. Remove the timing belt in this order.

Check the belt for any defects as shown in the illustrations. Also, check these points below.

1. If the belt tears in a short time:
   • Check if the belt is installed properly.
   • Check if the timing cover gasket is damaged and if it is installed properly.
2. If the belt teeth are cracked or damaged, check if either camshaft is locked.
3. If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face, check if there are nicks on the side of the idler pulley lock and water pump.
4. If there is wear or damage on only one side of the belt, check the belt guide and alignment of each pulley.
5. If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth:
   • Check the timing cover for damage.
   • Check that the gasket has been installed correctly.
   • Check for foreign objects on the pulley teeth.

   If there is any doubt about the belt condition, replace the timing belt.

1. Remove any oil or water on the pulleys, then keep them clean.
   NOTE:

   • If there is a trace of water and/or oil on the timing belt, repair the leakage and install a new timing belt.
   • Only wipe the pulleys; do not use any cleaning agent.
2. Check the idler pulleys.
   1. Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
   2. Visually check the seal portion of the idler pulley for oil leakage.
3. Check the water pump.
   1. Turn the pulley, then check that water pump bearing moves smoothly and does not make a noise.
   2. Visually check the drain hole for coolant leakage.
4. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer to the crankshaft.
5. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approximately 60°.
   NOTE: To prevent contact of the piston head with the valve head, set the crankshaft pulley at the 60° BTDC/compression position.
