Used belt9.5 mm (.374 in.)(5) On using tension gauge, move the alternator to adjust
deflection to standard value.Standard

Used belt400 N (88 Ibs.)(6) After completion of adjustment, tighten alternator brace
bolt and alternator brace bolt nut to the specified torque.
(7) If new belt has been installed, run engine for more than 5
minutes.Then follow “V-RIBBED BELT DEFLECTION CHECK”
procedure to make sure that the belt has proper deflection.
<2.0L DOHC Engine>
(1) Loosen the alternator pivot nut.
(2) Loosen the belt tension adjuster lock bolt.
(3) Release tension by rotating the adjuster bolt counterclock-
wise.(4) Remove and install the alternator and water pump drive
belt.(5) Make sure the V-ribbed type drive belt is properly installed
in pulley grooves.

INSPECTIONN07MDAL
V-RIBBED BELTCheck following items and replace if faulty.
l Check belt surface for damage, peeling or cracks.
l Check belt surface for oil or grease.
l Check belt rubber for wear or brittleness.
l Check the pulleys for cracks or damage.
WATER PUMP
lCheck each part for cracks, damage or wear, and replace
the water pump assembly if necessary.
l Check the bearing for damage, abnormal noise and
sluggish rotation, and replace the water pump assembly if
necessary.lCheck the seal unit for leaks, and replace the water pump
assembly if necessary.
lCheck for water leakage. If water leaks from hole “A”, seal
unit is leaking. Replace as an assembly.

26. INSTALLATION OF O-RINGsInsert the O-ring to the water inlet pipe, and coat the,buter
circumference of the O-ring with water.,
By coating with water, the insertion to the water pump will
become easier.
Caution
1.Care must be taken not to permit engine oil or other
greases to adhere to the O-ring.
2.When inserting the pipe, check to be sure,that there
is no sand, dirt, etc. on its inner surface.
24. INSTALLATION OF WATER PUMP,
(1) Clean both gasket surfaces of water pump body and
cylinder block.
(2) Install new water pump gasket and water pump
assembly and tighten the bolts.
