camshaft sprocket.
Caution
As the purpose of this procedure is to apply the
proper amount of tension on the timing belt, be
sure not to rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise
or place pressure on the belt to check the amount of
tension.(4) Apply force on tensioner toward turning direction, (in
the direction of the arrow) such that no portion of the
belt raises out in portion A, place the belt on the
camshaft sprocket such that the belt sprocket teeth arefully engaged.
(5) Tighten the tensioner installation bolt and tensioner
spacer in that order.
Caution
If the tensioner spacer is tightened first, the ten-
sioner will rotate with it and belt tension be thrown
out of adjustment. Always tighten the bolt first.(6) Check to see that the clearance between the outside of
the belt and the cover are within the standard value by
grasping the tension side (between the camshaft
sprocket and oil pump sprocket) of the centre part of
the timing belt between the thumb and index finger.
Standard value: 12 mm (.40 in.)

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.

24-24 HEATERS AND AIR CONDITIONING - Service Adjustment Procedures
COMPRESSOR NOISENUFIABWhen investigating an air conditioning related noise, you must
first know the conditions when the noise occurs. These
conditions are: weather, vehicle speed, in gear or neutral,
engine temperature or any other special conditions.
Noises that develop during air conditioning operation can oftenbe misleading. For example: what sounds like a failed front
bearing or connecting rod, may be caused by loose bolts, nuts,mounting brackets, or a loose clutch assembly. Verify acces-
sory drive belt tension (power steering, or alternator).
Improper accessory drive belt tension can cause a misleading
noise when the compressor is engaged and little or no noise
when the compressor is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed sensitive. That is, at different engine
speeds, and depending upon belt tension, belts can develop
unusual noises that are often mistaken for mechanical prob-
lems within the compressor.
Adjustment Procedures
(1) Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate conditions as
much as possible. Switch compressor on and off several
times to clearly identify compressor noise.
To duplicate high ambient conditions (high head pressure),restrict air flow through condenser. Install manifold gauge
set to make sure discharge pressure doesn’t exceed 2,070
kPa (300 psi).
(2) Tighten all compressor mounting bolts, clutch mounting
bolt, and compressor drive belt. Check to assure clutch coilis tight (no rotation or wobble).
(3) Check refrigerant hoses for rubbing or interference that cancause unusual noises.
(4) Check refrigerant charge (See “Charging the System”).
(5) Recheck compressor noise as in Step 1.
(6) If noise still exists, loosen compressor mounting bolts and
retorque. Repeat Step 1.
(7) If noise continues, replace compressor and repeat Step 1.
