Install the timing belt in the feverse order of removal;
Only key points are described there.
NOTE: Clean the middle cover and lower cover before
installation.
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.
2. Install the timing belt tightly in the sequence
shown.

10, lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearance is out of loler-
ance:
- And camshaft has already been replaced, you
must replace the cylinder head.
- lf camshaft has not been replaced, first check
total runout with the camshaft supported on V-
blocks.
Camehaft Total Runout:
Sisndard (New): 0.015 mm (0.0006 inl
Service Limit: 0.03 mm (0.0012 in)
Rotat€ camshsftwhile measuring
- lf the total runout of the camshaft is within toler-
ance, replace the cylinder head.- lf the total runout is out of tolerance, r€Dlace the
camshaft and recheck. lf the oil clearance is still
out of tolerance. replace the cylinder head.
