1-2. ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL
1. WATER PUMP BELT INSPECTION
AND REPLACEMENT
[INSPECTION]
1) Disconnect negative battery lead at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation,
wear and cleanliness. If any defect, replace.
Check belt for tension. The belt is in’ proper
tension if it deflects 6 to 9 mm (0.24 - 0.35
in.) under thumb pressure (about 10 kg or
22 lb.)..

3) If the belt is too tight or too loose, adjust it
to specification by adjusting alternator
position.
4) Tighten alternator adjusting bolt and pivot
bolts.
5) Connect negative battery lead to battery.
[REPLACEMENT]
1) Disconnect negative battery lead at battery.
2) Loosen alternator adjusting bolt and pivot
bolts.
3) Replace water pump belt.
4) Adjust belt tension to specification and
tighten alternator adjusting bolt and pivot
bolts.
5) Connect negative battery lead to battery.
2. CAMSHAFT TIMING BELT INSPECTION
1) Disconnect negative battery lead at battery.
2) Loosen fan drive belt, and remove 4 bolts
securing radiator shroud panel and 4 nuts
securing engine cooling fan & clutch. Then
remove radiator shroud and cooling fan &
clutch at the same time.
3) Remove water pump belt and pump pulley.
4) Remove crankshaft pulley by removing 4

5) Remove timing belt outside cover. Inspect
the belt for damage or wear. When any
damage or wear is found on the belt, replace
it.
If belt replacement is necessary, be sure to
install the belt properly.
6) Remove cylinder head cover and loosen all
valve adjusting screws all the way to permit
free rotation of camshaft.
7) Turn crankshaft clockwise and align 4 marks
as shown.
Loosen tensioner bolt and nut but do not
remove.
9) Adjust valve lash to specification.
10) Install cylinder head cover and torque bolt
to specification.
11) Install timing belt outside cover and torque
bolts and nut to specification.
12) Install crankshaft pulley and torque bolts to
specification.
13) Install water pump pulley and belt.
14) Install radiator shroud and cooling fan &
clutch.
15) Adjust water pump belt tension to specifica-
tion.
16) Connect negative battery lead to battery.
3. VALVE LASH INSPECTION
1) Remove cylinder head cover.
2) Inspect intake and exhaust valve lash and
adjust as necessary.

8) To allow belt to be free of any slack, turn
crankshaft clockwise fully twice. After remov-
ing belt slack, tighten tensioner nut to 9 - 12
N-m (0.9- 1.2 kg-m, 7.0 - 8.5 lb-ft) first
and then tensioner bolt to 24 - 30 N-m
(2.4 - 3.0 kg-m, 17.5 - 21.5 lb-ft).
Then confirm again that 4 marks are match-
ed.
