1991 LEXUS SC300 timing belt

25. REMOVE SPARK PLUGSUsing a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the 8 spark plugs.
26. IF RE±USING TIMING BELT, CHECK INSTALLATION MARKS ON TIMING BELT
Check that there are 4 installation marks on the timing belt by
turning the crankshaft pulley as shown in the illustration.
HINT: If the installation marks have disappeared, place a new
installation mark on the timing belt before removing each
part.
27. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with timing mark ª0º of the No.1 timing belt cover.
(b) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and timing belt rear plates aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360 5).
28. REMOVE TIMING BELT TENSIONER HINT:
wWhen re±using timing belt:
If the installation marks have disappeared, before re-
move the timing belt, place new installation marks on
the timing belt to match the timing marks of the camshaft
timing pulleys, and place the a new installation mark on
the timing belt to match the end of the hydraulic pump.

wWhen replacing timing belt tensioner only:
To avoid meshing of the timing pulley and timing belt,
secure one of them with string. And place matchmarks
on the timing belt and RH camshaft timing pulley.
Alternately loosen the 2 bolts, and remove them, the belt ten-
sioner and dust boot.
29. DISCONNECT TIMING BELT FROM CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEYS
(a) Using SST, loosen the tension spring between the LH and RH
camshaft timing pulleys by slightly turning the LH camshaft
timing pulley clockwise.
SST 09278±54012
(b) Disconnect the timing belt from the camshaft timing pulleys.
30. REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEYS Using SST, remove the bolt and timing pulley. Remove the 2
timing pulleys.

(a) Using SST, remove the pulley bolt.SST 09213±70010, 09330±00021
(b) Using SST, remove the crankshaft pulley. SST 09213±31021
32. REMOVE HYDRAULIC PUMP HINT (When re±using timing belt): Before removing the hy-
draulic pump, using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crank-
shaft pulley and align the installation mark of the timing belt
with the end of the hydraulic pump.
(a) Disconnect the solenoid valve connector.
(b) Remove the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
(c) Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor wire clamp.
(d) Remove the hydraulic pump.
33. REMOVE NO.1 TIMING BELT COVER Remove the 4 bolts, timing belt cover and gasket.

36. REMOVE TIMING BELT HINT (When re±using timing belt): If the installation marks
have disappeared, place a new installation mark on the tim-
ing belt to the match the dot mark of the crankshaft timing
pulley.
37. REMOVE NO.2 IDLER PULLEY Remove the bolt and idler pulley.
38. REMOVE NO.1 IDLER PULLEY Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, remove the bolt, idler pulley
and plate washer.

TIMING BELT COMPONENTS
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TIMING BELT
NOTICE:
w Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.
w Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact with oil,
water or steam.
w Do not utilize timing belt tension when installing or
removing the mounting bolt of the camshaft timing
pulley.
If there are any defects as shown in the illustration, check the
following points:
(a) Premature parting wCheck the proper installation.
w Check the timing cover gasket for damage and proper
installation.
(b) If the belt teeth are cracked or damaged, check to see if either
camshaft or water pump is locked.
(c) If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face, check to see if there are nicks on the side of the idler pulley lock.

(d) If there is wear or damage on only one side of the belt, checkthe belt guide and the alignment of each pulley.
(e) If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check the timing cover for damage, gasket has been installed correctly, and
the foreign material on the pulley teeth. If necessary, replace
the timing belt.
2. INSPECT IDLER PULLEYS Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
If necessary, replace the idler pulley.
3. INSPECT TIMING BELT TENSIONER
(a) Visually check tensioner for leakage. HINT: If there is only the faintest trace of oil on the seal on the
push rod side, the tensioner is all right.
If leakage is found, replace the tensioner.
(b) Hold the tensioner with both hands, and push the push rod firmly against floor or wall to check that it doesn't move.
If push rod moves, replace the tensioner.

(c) Measure the protrusion of the push rod from the housing end.
Protrusion:
10.5 ± 11.5 mm (0.413 ± 0.453 in.)
If the protrusion is not as specified, replace the tensioner.
