Inspection (Montero & Pickup)
Inspect timing belt for wear on edges of drive teeth. Inspect
belt for oil contamination, cracks, separation, worn or missing teeth
and hardened back surface. Replace belt if worn, damaged or
contaminated. Inspect belt tensioner for smooth rotation. Replace if
defective.
Installation (Montero & Pickup)
1) Install rear timing belt cover. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS (MONTERO & PICKUP) table at
end of article. Install camshaft sprockets (if removed). Using holder,\
hold camshaft and tighten retaining bolt to specification.
2) Install belt tensioner and spring. Ensure spring is
secured on pin of water pump and engaged in hole of belt tensioner
with hook of spring pointing from cylinder block.
3) Rotate belt tensioner counterclockwise as much as
possible, and temporarily tighten bolt. Align all timing marks with
No. 1 cylinder at TDC of compression stroke. See Fig. 8.
4) Install timing belt on crankshaft sprocket and then left
camshaft sprocket with all slack removed from tension side of belt.
Route timing belt onto water pump pulley, right camshaft sprocket and
tensioner. Remove any slack from belt by rotating left and then right
camshaft sprockets counterclockwise.
5) Ensure belt is installed in original direction of rotation
and all timing marks are aligned. Install flange on crankshaft. Loosen
belt tensioner bolts slightly, and allow tensioner to apply belt
tension.
6) Using Crankshaft Socket (MD998716), rotate crankshaft 2
Inspect belt tensioner for smooth rotation. Replace if defective.
Installation
1) Install rear timing belt cover. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS (3000GT) table at end of
article. Install camshaft sprockets (if removed). Using holder, hold
camshaft and tighten camshaft sprocket bolt to specification.
2) Install belt tensioner and spring. Ensure spring is
secured on pin of water pump and engaged in hole of belt tensioner
with hook of spring pointing from cylinder block.
3) Rotate belt tensioner counterclockwise as much as
possible, and temporarily tighten bolt. Align all timing marks with
No. 1 cylinder at TDC of compression stroke. See Fig. 8.
4) Install timing belt on crankshaft sprocket, rear cylinder
bank camshaft sprocket, water pump pulley, front cylinder bank
camshaft sprocket and timing belt tensioner. Ensure belt is installed
in original direction of rotation and all timing marks are aligned.
Install flange on crankshaft. Loosen belt tensioner bolts slightly,
and allow tensioner to apply belt tension.
5) Using Crankshaft Socket (MD998716), rotate crankshaft 2
revolutions clockwise. DO NOT rotate counterclockwise. Realign all
timing marks. Tighten belt tensioner bolts to specification. See
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS (3000GT) table. Using belt tension gauge,
measure belt tension halfway between crankshaft sprocket and camshaft
sprocket on side opposite belt tensioner.
6) Belt tension should be 46.3-63.3 lbs. (21-29 kg). To
install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Install
proper length bolts in timing belt covers and engine support bracket.
See Figs. 9 and 10. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS (3000GT) table.
NOTE: Engine support bracket reamer bolt must be tightened slowly
while spraying lubricant on bolt.

VALVE SEAT (SOHC)
1) Valve seat sinkage should be checked after valve and valve
seat have been reconditioned and lightly lapped. With valve assembly
installed, measure installed height of valve spring between spring
seat and retainer. Valve seat must be replaced if measurement exceeds
1.63" (41.4 mm).
2) Grind seat wall thickness until seat can be removed.
Machine cylinder head to accommodate an oversize valve seat. See
OVERSIZE VALVE SEAT SPECIFICATIONS (SOHC) table. Heat cylinder head to\
approximately 480
F (250C), and install valve seat. Grind valve seat
using 45-degree stone. Use 30-degree and 60-degree stones to set seat
height.

Compressor Refrigerant Oil Checking
ISOLATING COMPRESSOR
NOTE: Only compressors with stem-type service valves can be
isolated.
1) Connect service gauge set to the compressor service valves
and open compressor valves slightly (turn in clockwise). Start engine
and operate air conditioning. Slowly turn compressor suction valve
clockwise toward closed (front-seated) position.
2) When suction pressure is reduced to zero or less, turn off
engine and compressor and quickly turn suction valve stem in to full
front-seated position. Suction pressure should be slightly above zero.
Turn discharge valve into front-seated position.
3) To check oil level, slowly open compressor crankcase plug
to relieve any remaining pressure. After oil level is corrected, cap
service gauge ports on both valves. Back-seat suction service valve to
allow refrigerant to enter compressor. Open discharge valve halfway.
4) Loosen discharge service valve cap, allowing refrigerant
pressure to force air out of compressor. Back-seat service valve and
tighten cap. Compressor is now ready for operation.
REFRIGERANT OIL
Only new, pure, moisture-free refrigerant oil should be used
in the air conditioning system. This oil is highly refined and
dehydrated to a point where moisture content is less than 10 parts per
million. The oil container must be tightly closed at all times when
not in use, or moisture will be absorbed into the refrigerant oil from
the air.
SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Recent findings by the EPA indicate that refrigerant is
harmful to the earth's protective Ozone layer. When
discharging refrigerant, DO NOT allow refrigerant to enter
the atmosphere. If available, use refrigerant
recovery/recycle systems when discharging system. Always
follow manufacturer's instructions.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
If compressor has stem-type service valves, it can be
isolated and removed without discharging entire system. See ISOLATING
COMPRESSOR at the beginning of this article. Otherwise, discharge
system completely before loosening any fittings.
DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS TEST
After system is discharged, carefully clean area around all
fittings to be opened. Always use 2 wrenches when tightening or
loosening fittings to avoid twisting or distorting lines. Cap or plug
all openings as soon as lines are removed. DO NOT remove caps until
immediately before connections are made. This will keep entry of air
