ry.
2. Check that the mating mark of the camshaft pul-
ley is aligned with the timing mark. If it is not
aligned, turn the camshaft to align.
Note
For FE engine, align "2" mark.
For F8, F6 engine, align "3" mark.
3. Install the timing belt tensioner and spring. Tem-
porarily secure it with the spring fully extended.
Caution
Do not damage the pulleys when securing the
tensioner pulley.
4. Install the timing belt. (Keep the tension side of belt
as tight as possible).
Caution
a) If the timing belt is being reused, it must be
reinstalled to rotate in the original direction.
b) Check that there is no oil, grease, or dirt on
the timing belt.
5. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt.
6. Turn the crankshaft twice in the direction of rota-
tion, and align the mating marks.
7. Check that the timing marks are correctly aligned.
If not aligned, remove the timing belt tensioner and
timing belt, and repeat steps 1—6.

Caution
Be sure not to apply tension other than that
of the tensioner spring.
