- REMOVE TIMING BELT GUIDE NO.2
- REMOVE TIMING BELT
- Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
- Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer to the crankshaft.
- Turn the crankshaft clockwise, and align the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley with the oil pump body.
- Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and No.3 timing belt cover are aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
- Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
- If reusing the timing belt, check that there are 3 installation marks on the timing belt as shown in the illustration.
- If the installation marks have disappeared, put new installation marks on the timing belt before removing.
- Set No.1 cylinder to approximately 60° BTDC/ compression.
- Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approximately 60°.NOTE: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulley and camshaft, causing damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
- Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approximately 60°.
- Remove the timing belt tensioner.TIMING BELT TENSIONER REFERENCE CHART
