remove the timing belt.
Caution
Water or oil on the belt shorten its life drastically, sothe removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner
must be free from oil and water. These parts should
not be washed. Replace parts if seriously contamin-
ated.
If there is oil or water on each part check. the front
case oil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for
leaks.SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
