6. CONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS TO DISTRIBUTOR
CAPS
Connect the ten high±tension cords.
NOTICE: Connect the high±tension cord by pressing on
the correct place as shown in the illustration.
If not done this way, the high±tension cord will interfere with
the camshaft timing pulley.
7. INSTALL RH NO.2 TIMING BELT COVER (a) Install the four gaskets to the timing belt cover.
(b) Install the connector grommet to the timing belt cover.
(c) Install the timing belt cover with the five bolts.
