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

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.

camshaft and "E" for exhaust). See Fig. 22.
3) Install front and rear bearing caps. Tighten bearing cap
bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS (3000GT) table at
end of article. Coat camshaft oil seal area with oil. Using Seal
Installer (MD998761), install camshaft oil seal. Using Circular
Packing Installer (MD998761), install circular packing.
4) Install crankshaft angle sensor adapter. To complete
installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table.

surface of seal case. Install seal case. Install flywheel or drive
plate. Tighten bolts to specification. See appropriate TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article. To complete installation,
reverse removal procedure.
WATER PUMP

MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
(1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and (2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that
they are serious about customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
