-35. INSTALLATION OF SPACER
(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.
Standard value: 5-7 mm
(.20-.28 in.)

FLANGEInstall the flange in correct direction as shown.
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.

6EN028321. INSTALLATION OF AUTO TENSIONER
(1) If the auto tensioner rod is in its fully extended position,reset it as follows.
@ Keep the a t tu oensioner level and, in that position,
clamp it in the vise with soft jaws.
If the plug at the bottom of the auto tensioner
protrudes, surround it with a plain washer as
illustrated to prevent the plug from being in direct
contact with the vise.
@I Push in the rod little by little with the vise until the
set hole
@ in the rod is aligned with that @I in the
cylinder.
@ Insert a wire [1.4 mm (055 in.) in diameter] into the
set holes.
@I Unclamp the auto tensioner from the vise.
(2) Install the auto tensioner.
Caution
Leave the wire installed in the auto tensioner.
23. INSTALLATION OF TENSIONER PULLEY
(1) Install the tensioner pulley onto the tensioner arm.
(2) Locate the pinhole in the tensioner pulley shaft to the
left of the center bolt. Then, tighten the center bolt
finger-tight.Caution
Leave the wire installed in the auto tensioner.

(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.

9-106ENGINE <2.0L DOHC Engine> - Timing Belt. ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT TENSION
(1) After turning the crankshaft
l/4 turn counterclockwise,.5;;turn it clockwise to move the No. 1 cylinder to top dead
center.(2) Loosen the center bolt, and then, as shown in the
illustration, attach the special tool and a torque wrench
and apply a torque of 2.6-2.8 Nm
(1.88-2.03 ft.lbs.).If the body interferes with the special tool and the
torque wrench, use a jack to slightly raise the engine
assembly.
NOTEUse a torque wrench that is capable of measurement
within a range of
O-3 Nm (O-2.2 ft.lbs.).(3) Holding the tensioner pulley with the special tool and
torque wrench, tighten the center bolt to specification.
(4) Screw the special tool into the engine left support
bracket until its end makes contact with the tensioner
arm. At that point, screw the special tool in some more
and then remove the set wire attached to the auto
tensioner.(5) Remove the special tool.
(6) Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns clockwise
and leave it as is for about 15 minutes. Then, measure
the auto tensioner protrusion “A” (distance between
the tensioner arm and auto tensioner body) to ensure,.+
that it is up to specification.
Standard value:
3.8-4.5 mm (.15-.18 in.)
If it is out of specification, repeat steps (6) through (1)
until the specified value is obtained.
(7) If the clearance between the tensioner arm and the
auto tensioner body cannot be measured (when the
engine is being mounted, etc.), the following proce-
dures can be used to substitute for the ordinan/ methodof measurement.
@ Screw in the special tool until it contacts the
tensioner arm.
@ From that point of contact, further screw in the
special tool, screwing it in until the push rod of the
auto tensioner body is caused to move backward
and the tensioner arm contacts the auto tensioner
body.Check to be sure that the amount that the special
tool has been screwed in (when the push rod
moves backward) is the standard value.
Standard value: 2.5-3 turns
