INSPECTION I REPAIR ee x 25rnrn (1.0 in) min DAMAGE WEAR TIMING BELT Caution The following will damage the belt and shorten its life; Forcefully twisting it, turning it inside out, bending it, or allowing oil or grease on it. 1. Replace the timing belt if there is any oil or grease on it. 2. Check the timing belt for damage, wear, peeling, cracks, and hardening. Replace the timing belt if necessary. TENSIONER, IDLER Caution Using cleaning fluids or a steam cleaner to clean the tensioner can dissolve the grease in its sealed bearing. \.-' Check the tensioner and idler for smooth rotation and abnormal noise. Replace the tensioner or idler if neces- sary. TENSIONER SPRING Measure the free length of the tensioner spring. Replace the tensioner spring if necessary. Free length: 59.2mm (2.331 in) PULLEY Timing Belt Pulley, Camshaft Pulley Inspect the pulley teeth for wear, deformation, and other damage. Replace the pulley if necessary. Gartner Banana

(Refer to sections J, K.) 2. lnstall the under cover. 3. If the engine oil was drained, fill with the specified amount and type of engine oil. (Refer to section D.) 4. Fill the radiator with the specified amount and type of engine coolant. (Refer to section E.) 5. If the transmission oil was drained, fill with the specified amount and type of transmission oil. (Refer to sections J, K.) 6. Connect the negative battery cable. 7. Start the engine and check the following. (1) Engine oil, transmission oil, and engine coolant leakage (2) Ignition timing, idle speed (Refer to page 59.) (3) Operation of emission control system 8. Perform a road test. 9. Recheck the engine oil and engine coolant levels. Gartner Banana
