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.)

2. REMOVAL OF PRESSURE SWITCH(1) Disconnect the oil pressure switch terminal.
(2) Using the special tool, remove the oil pressure switch.
Caution
Sealant is coated on the threaded part, so be careful
not to damage when removing.
MD9982823EN041
8. REMOVAL OF OIL PAN
(1) Remove the all oil pan bolts.
(2) Drive in the special tool between the cylinder block and
oil pan.
NOTE
Never use a screwdriver or chisel, instead of the special
tool, as a deformed oil pan flange will result, resulting inoil leakage.
14. REMOVAL OF FLANGE BOLTWhen loosening the oil pump driven gear flange bolt, first
insert a Phillips screwdriver [shank diameter 8 mm (32 in.)]into the plug hole on the left side of cylinder block to block
the silent shaft.
17. REMOVAL OF FRONT CASE
The front case may be sticking to the cylinder block. In sucha case, insert a screwdriver into the slot shown in the
illustration and pry up. Never attempt to pry at any other
positions where flange is thinner. Also avoid applying
impact to the front case for removal.
26. REMOVAL OF SILENT SHAFT FRONT BEARINGSUsing the special tool, remove the front bearing from
cylinder block.

INSPECTION
SILENT SHAFTNOSRUEl(1) Check oil holes for clogging.
(2) Check journal for seizure, damage, and contact with
bearing. If there is anything wrong with the journal, replace
silent shaft, bearing or front case assembly.
(3) Check the silent shaft oil clearance. If the clearance is
excessively due to wear, replace the silent shaft bearing
silent shaft or front case assembly.

(1) Check oil holes for clogging and clean if necessary.
(2) Check left silent shaft front bearing section for wear,
damage and seizure. If there is anything wrong with the
section, replace the front case.
(3) Check the front case for cracks and other damage. Replacecracked or damaged front case.
OIL SEALNOORCMAO
(1) Check the oil seal lip for wear and damage. Replace oil sealif
necessan/.(2) Check the oil seal lip for deterioration. Replace oil seal if
necessary.
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
(1) Connect a tester (ohm range) between the terminal and thebody and check for conductivity. If there is no conductivity,
replace the switch.

1(2) Next insert a very fine wedge through the oil hole, pushing
it slightly. There should be no conductivity (resistance
should be infinite). If there is conductivity even when
wedge is pushed, replace the switch.
(3) Or, if there is no conductivity when a 50
kPa (71 psi)
pressure is placed through the oil hole, the switch is
operating properly. Check at this time to see that there is
no air pressure leakage. If there is air pressure leakage, thediaphragm is broken, and the switch should be replaced.
OIL PUMPNomcGH
(1)Install the oil pump gears in the front case and check the tipclearance of each gear using a thickness gauge.
Standard value:
Drive gear
0.06-0.12 mm (.0024-.0047 in.)
Driven gear0.04-0.12 mm (.0039-.0079 in.)
Limit:
Drive gear0.20 mm (.079 in.)
Driven gear0.18 mm (.071 in.)
NOTECheck the tip clearance of each gear at position indicated
by an arrow.
(2) Check the side clearance of each gear.
Standard value:
Drive gear
0.10-0.16 mm (.0039-.0063 in.)
Driven gear0.02-0.05 mm (.0008-.0020 in.)
Limit:Drive gear0.20 mm (308 in.)
Driven gear0.15 mm (AI66 in.)(3) Check for ridge wear on the surface of the oil pump cover
that are in contact with the pump gear side.
