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.

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.
