lnspection
Remove the cylinder head cover.
. Refer to page 6-78 when installing.
Inspect the timing belt for cracks and oil or coolant
soaking.
NOTE:
. Replace the belt if oil or coolant soaked.
. Remove any oil or solvent that gets onthe b€lt.
Rotate pulleyand inspect b6lt.
After inspecting. retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt
to 177 N.m (18.0 kgf.m, 130 lbf.ft).
Tension Adjustment
CAUTION: Always adlust timing bslt tsnsion with th6
engine cold.
NOTE:
. The tensioner is spring-loaded to apply proper ten-
sion to the belt automatically after making the follow-
ing adjustment.
a Alwavs rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise when
viewed trom the pulley side. Rotating it clockwise
may result in improper adjustment of the belt ten-
sion.
Remove the cylinder head cover. (Refer to page 6-

1. Position the crankshaft and the camshaft pulleys as
shown betore installing the timing belt.
A. Set the crankshaft so that the No. 1 piston is at
top dead center {TDC). Align the groove on the
teeth side of the timing belt drive pulley to the V
pointer on the oil pump.
B. Align the TDC marks on intake and exhaust pul-
leys.
