New Belt
NOTE:- This procedure is to replace the timing belt. If you are reusing the timing belt refer to Reusing The Timing Belt.
- Install the timing belt and timing balancer belt in the reverse order of removal;
- Only key points are described here.
- Clean the middle and lower covers before installation.
1. Remove the timing balancer belt drive pulley.
2. Set the timing belt drive pulley so that the No. 1 piston is at top dead center (TDC). Align the dimple on the teeth of the timing belt drive pulley with the V pointer on the oil pump.
3. The "t" marks on the camshaft pulleys should be at the top, and the TDC grooves on the pulleys should align with the cylinder head surface.
4. Remove the auto-tensioner.
5. Hold the auto-tensioner with the maintenance bolt pointing up. Loosen and remove the maintenance bolt.
NOTE:
- Handle the auto-tensioner carefully so the oil inside does not spill or leak.
- Replenish the auto-tensioner with oil if any spills or leaks. The total capacity is 8 ml (1/4 fl. oz).
6. Clamp the boss of the auto-tensioner in a vise. Use pieces of wood or a cloth to protect the boss.
NOTE: Do not grip the housing of the auto-tensioner.
7. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the maintenance hole. Place the stopper (P/N 14540-P13-003) on the auto-tensioner while turning the screwdriver clockwise to compress the bottom.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the threads or the gasket contact surface with the screwdriver clockwise.
8. Reinstall the maintenance bolt.
NOTE: Be sure to use a new gasket.
9. Make sure no oil is leaking around the maintenance bolt, then install the auto-tensioner.
10. Install the timing belt tightly in the sequence shown.
- (1) Timing belt drive pulley (crankshaft) --> (2) Adjusting pulley --> (3) Water pump pulley --> (4) Exhaust camshaft pulley --> (5) Intake camshaft pulley.
NOTE: Make sure the timing belt drive pulley and camshaft pulleys are at TDC.
11. Remove the stopper.
12. Install the timing balancer belt drive pulley and lower cover.
13. Install the crankshaft pulley, then tighten the pulley bolt.
14. Rotate the crankshaft pulley about five or six turns counterclockwise so that the timing belt positions on the pulleys.
15. Make sure the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys are at TDC.
16. If either camshaft and crankshaft pulley is not positioned at TDC, remove the timing belt and adjust the positioning, then reinstall the timing belt.
17. Set the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is at TDC.
18. Remove the crankshaft pulley and lower cover.
19. Loosen the adjusting nut 2/3-1 turn, and verify that the timing balancer belt adjuster moves freely.
20. Retighten the adjusting nut.
21. Align the rear balancer shaft pulley by using a 6 x 100 mm bolt or equivalent as an tool. Scribe a line 74 mm (2.9 inch) from the end of the bolt. Insert the bolt into the maintenance hole to the scribed line.
22. Align the groove on the front balancer shaft with the pointer on the oil pump housing as shown.
23. Install the timing balancer belt. Loosen the adjusting nut 2/3-1 turn to tension the timing balancer belt.
24. Remove the 6 x 100 mm bolt, then install the 12 mm sealing bolt.
25. Install the lower cover and crankshaft pulley, then tighten the pulley bolt.
26. Turn the crankshaft pulley about one turn counterclockwise, then tighten the adjusting nut.
27. Install the rubber seal around the adjusting nut.
NOTE: Do not loosen the adjusting nut.
28. After installation, adjust the tension of each belt.
29. Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter the customer's radio station presets.
