2. REMOVAL OF ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET
(1) With a wooden block placed against the oil pan part ofthe engine, jack up the vehicle.
Caution
Jack up gently, so as not to apply a load to the va-
rious parts.
(2) Remove the engine mount bracket.
11. REMOVAL OF AUTO TENSIONER
(1) Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing marks so as to bring the
No.1 cylinder to compression
top-dead-centre position. At this time the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket
-and the upper surface of the cylinder head should coin- cide, and the dowel pin of the camshaft sprocket
should be at the upper side.
Caution
The crankshaft must always be rotated clockwise.
(2) Remove the auto tensioner.
12. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT
Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating the
direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the same
direction if it is to be reused.
Caution
Water or oil on the belt shorten its life drastically, so
the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner must be free from oil and water. These parts should
not be washed. Replace parts if seriously contami-
nated.
If there is oil or water on each part check the front
case oil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for
leaks.
16. REMOVAL OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKET
(1) Rotate the crankshaft in the forward (right) direction
and align the timing mark.
Caution
The crankshaft must always be rotated in the for-
ward direction only.

(2) Tie the camshaft sprocket and timing belt with a cord
so that the position of the camshaft sprocket will not
move with respect to the timing belt.
(3) Use the special tool to remove the camshaft sprocket with the timing belt attached.
Caution
After removing the camshaft sprocket, be sure not
to rotate the crankshaft.
17. REMOVAL OF OIL PUMP SPROCKET
(1) Remove the plug on the side of the cylinder block.
(2) Insert a Phillips screwdriver [shank diameter 8 mm
(31
in.)] to block the left silent shaft.
(3) Remove the oil pump sprocket nut.
(4) Remove the oil pump sprocket.
23. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT “B”
Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating the
direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the same
direction if it is to be reused.
Caution
Water or oil on the belt shorten its life drastically, so
the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner
must be free from oil and water. These parts should
not be washed. Replace parts if seriously contami-
nated.
If there is oil or water on each part check the front
case oil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for
leaks.
INSPECTIONMl 1 KCAD
TIMING BELTS
The timing belts must be checked closely. Should the following
defects be evident, replace the belt with a new one.
(1) Hardened back surface rubber Glossy, non-elastic, and so hard that no mark is produced
even when scratched by a fingernail.
\ TSB RevisionI

. .CrackII-46ENGINE - Timing Belt
(2) Cracked back surface rubber.
(3) Cracked or separated canvas.
(4) Cracked tooth bottom.
(5) Cracked side.

knife.
(7) Abnormal wear on teeth.
Initial stage:Canvas on load side tooth flank worn (Fluffy canvas fib-
ers, rubber gone and color changed to white, and un-
clear canvas texture)
Final stage: Canvas on load side tooth flank worn down and rubber
exposed (tooth width reduced)
(8) Missing tooth.
TENSIONER PULLEY AND IDLER PULLEY
(1) Turn the pulleys to check for possible binding, excessive
play, and unusual noise. Replace the pulley if any of these
defects is evident.
(2) Replace if there is a grease leak.
AUTO TENSIONER
(1) Check the auto tensioner for possible leaks and replace as
necessary.
(2) Check the rod end for wear or damage and replace as necessary.

replace the auto tensioner.
Standard value: 12 mm

(4) Using a vise with soft jaws push in the auto tensioner rod. If the rod can be easily retracted, replace the auto
tensioner. You should feel a fair amount of resistance when
pushing the rod in.
Caution
1.Clamp the auto tensioner in the vise so it maintains
a level position.
2. If the plug at the bottom of the auto tensioner protrudes, surround it with a plain washer as
illustrated to prevent the plug from being in direct
contact with the vise.

25. INSTALLATION OF SPACER
(1) Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the outer circumfer-
ence of the spacer.
(2) Install the spacer with the chamfered end facing the oil
seal.
NOTE
If the spacer is installed adversely, the oil seal may be
damaged, resulting in the oil leaks.
23. INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT “B”
(1) Ensure that crankshaft sprocket “B” timing mark and the silent shaft sprocket timing mark are aligned.
(2) Fit timing belt “B” over crankshaft sprocket “B” and the silent shaft sprocket. Ensure that there is no slack in
the belt.
. ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT “B” TENSION (1) Temporarily fix the timing belt “B” tensioner such thatthe center of the tensioner pulley is to the left and
above the center of the installation bolt, and temporarily
attach the tensioner pulley so that the flange is toward
the front of the engine.
(2) Holding the timing belt “B” tensioner up with your finger in the direction of the arrow, place pressure on
the timing belt so that the tension side of the belt is
taut. Now tighten the bolt to fix the tensioner.
Caution
When tightening the bolt, ensure that the tensioner
pulley shaft does not rotate with the bolt. Allowing
it to rotate with the bolt can cause excessive
tension on the belt.
(3) To ensure that the tension is correct, depress the belt (point A) with a finger. If not, adjust.
Standard value: 5-7 mm (.20-.28
in.)

20. INSTALLATION OF CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET Install the crankshaft sprocket in the correct direction as
shown.
Caution
Pay special attention to the direction of the flange. If it
is installed in the wrong direction, a broken timing belt
could result.
11. INSTALLATION OF AUTO TENSIONER (1) If the auto tensioner rod is in its fully extended position,reset it as follows.
@ Keep the auto tensioner level and, in that position,clamp it in the vise with soft jaws.
If the plug at the bottom of the auto tensioner
protrudes, surround it with a plain washer as illustrated to prevent the plug from being in direct
contact with the vise.
@ Push in the rod little by little with the vise until the set hole
@ in the rod is aligned with that @ in the
cylinder.
@ Insert a wire [1.4 mm (055 in.) in diameter]
into the
set holes.
@ Unclamp the auto tensioner from the vise.

Leave the wire installed in the auto tensioner.
13. INSTALLATION OF TENSIONER PULLEY (1) Install the tensioner pulley onto the tensioner arm.
(2) Locate the pinhole in the tensioner pulley shaft to the left of the center bolt. Then, tighten the center bolt
finger-tight.
Caution
Leave the wire installed in the auto tensioner.
12. INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT (1) Ensure that the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket,the crankshaft sprocket, and the oil pump sprocket are
all aligned.
(2) Remove the plug on the cylinder block and insert a Phillips screwdriver [shank diameter 8 mm
(.31 in.)]
through the hole. If it can be inserted as deep as 60 mm (2.4 in.) or more,
the timing marks are correctly aligned. If the inserted
depth is only
20-25 mm (.8-1.0 in.), turn the oil pump
sprocket one turn and realign timing marks. Then check
to ensure that the screwdriver can be inserted 60 mm (2.4 in.) or more. Keep the screwdriver inserted until theinstallation of the timing belt is finished.
NOTE
Step (2) is performed to ensure that the oil pump
sprocket is correctly positioned with reference to the
silent shafts.
