REPAIR
CAUTION: Ease timing belt off gears using
fingers only. Metal levers may damage the
belt and gears. Do not rotate engine with
timing belt removed and cylinder head fitted.
Timing belts must be stored and handled with
care. Always store a timing belt on its edge with a
bend radius greater than 50 mm. Do not use a
timing belt which has been twisted or bent double
as this can fracture reinforcing fibres. Do not use
an oil contaminated timing belt. Although the belt
has a service life of 96,000 miles, 160,000 km, an
existing belt should only be refitted if it has
completed less than 48,000 miles, 80,000 km.
Refit
NOTE: For torque values.See
Specifications, torque, Torque values
1.Clean timing belt gears and pulleys.
2.Clean crankshaft pulley.
CAUTION: If original belt is to be refitted,
ensure direction of rotation mark is facing
correct way.
3.Fit timing belt to gears, starting at the crankshaft
gear and working in an anti-clockwise direction.
CAUTION: Ensure the belt run between the
crankshaft and exhaust camshaft gear is
kept taut during the fitting procedure.
4.Fit timing belt lower cover, tighten 3 bolts to the
correct torque.
5.Fit crankshaft pulley to crankshaft timing gear.
6.Fit tool LRT-12-059 to crankshaft pulley, fit 2
bolts to retain tool.
7.Fit crankshaft pulley centre bolt, and using tool
LRT-12-059 to restrain pulley, tighten bolt to the
correct torque.
8.Remove tool LRT-12-059
9.Fit bolts securing crankshaft pulley to timing
gear, tighten bolts to the correct torque.
10.Remove tool LRT-12-060.Tension belt
1.Loosen timing belt tensioner pulley bolt.
2.Apply
40Nmanti-clockwise torque to inlet cam
pulley bolt and release.
3.Tighten tensioner pulley bolt to the correct
torque.
4.Remove tool LRT-12-058 from flywheel.
5.Fit timing belt centre cover, tighten 5 bolts to the
correct torque.
6.Fit timing belt upper cover, tighten 5 bolts to the
correct torque.
7.Fit drive belt.

REPAIR CHECK CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELT
Service repair no - 12.65.17
CAUTION: This check must be carried out
at the service intervals specified and
whenever carrying out any repair which
requires the timing belt to be disturbed. Pay
particular attention for signs of belt splitting at
base of teeth.
1.Remove 5 bolts securing timing belt upper cover
2.Remove upper cover.
3.Using a socket and extension bar on the
crankshaft pulley bolt, rotate engine to allow the
timing belt to be inspected.
CAUTION: Do not use camshaft gears or
retaining bolts to rotate engine.
4.Check timing belt condition, renew any belt that
shows signs of oil contamination, cracking,
fraying or splitting at base of teeth.
CAUTION: Cause of oil contamination, if
present, must be rectified.
5.Clean timing belt upper cover.
6.Position upper cover.
7.Fit upper cover securing bolts.

EMISSION CONTROL

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION REV: 09/95 EMISSION CONTROL
Three systems are used to control the vehicle
atmospheric emissions these are:
Engine crankcase fume emissions.
Fuel tank Evaporative emissions
Engine exhaust gas emissions.
Crankcase ventilation system - 3.9 MFi models
only
The crankcase ventilation system which is an integral
part of the air supply to the engine combustion
chambers, is often overlooked when diagnosing
problems associated with engine performance. A
blocked ventilation pipe or filter or excessive air leak
into the inlet system through a damaged pipe or
leaking gasket can effect the mixture, performance
and economy of the engine.
1. Three way connector
2. Air filter
3. Oil separatorThe purpose of the crankcase ventilation system is to
ensure that any noxious gas generated in the engine
crankcase is rendered harmless by burning in the
combustion chambers as follows:
Oil laden noxious gas in the engine crankcase is
drawn through an oil separator 3 located on the right
cylinder head rocker cover, where the oil is separated
and returned to the sump. The gas flows through a
restrictor in the three way connection 1 and into the
inlet plenum chamber where it is drawn into the
combustion chambers and burned. The volume of
fresh air which is drawn from the atmospheric side of
the throttle butterfly to mix with the gas, depends on
the position of the throttle and the engine speed.
The air filter 2 fitted to the left cylinder head rocker
cover, must be maintained in clean condition to
ensure sufficient air enters the crankcase under
varying throttle openings and manifold depression, to
prevent excessive crankcase pressure or depression
developing.
