SERVICE POINTS OF REMOVAL-a3. REMOVAL OF ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET
(1) With a wooden block placed against the oil pan part of
the engine, jack up the vehicle.
CautionJack up gently, so as not to apply a load to the
various parts.
(2) Remove the engine mount bracket,
5. REMOVAL OF DRIVE BELT (ALTERNATOR)
Before removing the drive belt, loosen the water pump
pulley mounting bolts.
21. 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
coincide, and the dowel pin of the camshaft sprocket
should be at the upper side.
CautionThe crankshaft must always be rotated clockwise.
(2‘) Remove the auto tensioner.

9-98ENGINE <2.0L DOHC Engine> - Timing Belt22. 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 contaminated.
If there is oil or water on each part check the front caseoil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for leaks.
26. REMOVAL OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKETS
(1) Using a wrench, hold the camshaft at its hexagon
(between the No.2 and No.3 journals) and remove the
camshaft sprocket bolt.
Caution
Locking the camshaft sprocket with a tool damagesthe sprocket.
(2) Remove the camshaft sprockets.
127. 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
(.31in.)] to block the left silent shaft.
(3) Remove the oil pump sprocket nut.
(4) Remove the oil pump sprocket.
33. 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 contaminated.
If there is oil or water on each part check the front caseoil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for leaks.

(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.
NOTEIf the spacer is installed adversely, the oil seal may be
damaged, resulting in the oil leaks.
33. 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 inthe belt.
.ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT “B” TENSION
(1) Temporarily fix the timing belt “B” tensioner such that
the center of the tensioner pulley is to the left and
above the center of the installation bolt, and temporarilyattach 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.

Caution
Pay special attention to the direction of the flange. If it
is installed in the wrong direction, a broken timiiig ‘beltcould result.
30. 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.
27. INSTALLATION OF OIL PUMP SPROCKET
(1) Insert a Phillips screwdriver [shank diameter 8 mm
(.31in.) shaft] through the plug hole on the left side of
cylinder block to block the left silent shaft.
(2) Install the oil pump sprocket.
(3) Tighten the nut to the specified torque.
26. INSTALLATION OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKETS
Using a wrench, hold the camshaft at its hexagon (betweenthe
No.2 and No. 3 journals) and tighten the bolt to
specification.Caution
Locking the camshaft sprocket with a tool damages the
sprocket.

mar22. INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT
(1) Turn the two sprockets so that their dowel
pind arti
located on top. Then, align the timing marks facing each
-
*other with the top surface of the cylinder head. When,
you let go of the exhaust camshaft sprocket, it will
rotate one tooth in the counterclockwise direction. This
should be taken into account when installing the timing
belt on the sprockets.
NOTE
The same camshaft sprocket is used for the intake andexhaust camshafts and is provided with two timing
marks. When the sprocket is mounted on the exhaust
camshaft, use the timing mark on the right with the
*dowel pin hole on top. For the intake camshaft
-sprocket, use the one on the left with the dowel pin
hole on top.
(2) Align the crankshaft sprocket timing mark.
(3) Align the oil pump sprocket timing mark.
(4) 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-l .O in.), turn the oil pump
sprocket one turn and realign timing marks. Then checkto 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.,+
.
NOTEStep (4) is performed to ensure that the oil pump
sprocket is correctly positioned with reference to the
silent shafts.

P(5) Thread the timing belt over the intake side camshaft
sprocket and fix it an indicated position by a clip.
(6) Thread the timing belt over the exhaust side sprocket,
aligning the timing marks with the cylinder head top
surface using two wrenches.
(7) Fix the belt at indicated position by a clip.
(8) Thread the timing belt over the idler pulley, the oil pumpsprocket, the crankshaft sprocket and the tension
pulley in the order shown.
(9) Remove the two clips.
(1O)Lift up the tensioner pulley in the direction of arrow andtighten the center bolt.
(11)Check to see that all timing marks are lined up.
(12)Remove the screwdriver inserted in step (4) and fit the
plug.
(13)Give the crankshaft a quarter counterclockwise turn.
Then, turn it clockwise until the timing marks are lined
up again.
