7. Perform the following:
. Clean the areas where the driveshaft(s) and theintermediate shaft contact the transmission (dif_ferential) thoroughly with solvent or carburetorcteaner, and dry with compressed air.. Check that the set rings on the ends of the drive_shaft and intermediate shaft click into place.CAUTION: Use new set rings,. Adjust the shift cable (see section 14).. Adjust the throttle cable (see section 11).. Adjust the cruise control cable (see section 23).. Refill the engine with engine oil (see page 8-6).. Refill the transmission with fluid (see section 13,14).
. Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see page10-7).
. Bleed air from the cooling system with the heatervalve open (see page j0-7).
. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals withsandpaper, assemble them, then apply grease toprevent corrosaon.. Inspect for fuel leakage (see section j l).After assembling the fuel line, turn on l) the igni_tion switch (do not operate the starter) so that thefuel pump runs for approximately two secondsand the fuel line pressurizes. Repeat this opera_taon two or three times, then check for fuel leak_age at any point in the fuel line,

3. Install the timing belt tightly in the sequence shown'

NOTE: Make sure the timing belt drive pulley and
camshaft PulleY are at TDC

Loosen and retighten the adiusting bolt to tension
the timing belt.
lnstall the lower cover and upper cover.
NOTE: Clean the upper and lower covers before
installation.
lnstall the crankshaft pulley, then tighten the pulley
bolt (see page &16)
Rotate the crankshaft pulley about five or six turns
counterclockwise so that the timing belt positions
on the Pulleys.
Adjust the timing belt tension (see page 6-18).8.

9. Check that the crankshaft pulley and camshaft pul-
ley are both at TDC.
CRANKSHAFT PULLEY:
CAMSHAFT PULLEY:
lf the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys are not posi-
tioned at TDC, remove the timing belt and adjust
the position following the procedure on page 6-20'
Then reinstall the timing belt.
After installation, adjust the tension of each belt

Removal
1. Loosen the adjusting screws.
2. Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts, then,removethe rocker arm assembly.
NOTE:
a Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two turns at at,me, in a crisscross pattern, to prevent damao_ing the valves or rocker arm assembly.. When removing the rocker arm assembly, do notremove the camshaft holder bolts. The bolts willkeep the camshaft holders, the springs and therocker arms on the shaft.

No.5 camshaft holders.- Apply liquid gasket to the shaded areas
Set the rocker arm assemblY in place and loosely
installthe bolts.- Make sure that the rocker arms are properly posi-
tioned on the valve stems.
Tighten each bolt two turns at a time in the sequence
shown below to ensure that the rockers do not bind
on the valves.

NOTE:
. Always use a new head gasket.
. Cylinder head and cylinder block surface must be
clean.
. "UP" mark on the camshaft pulley should be at the top
. Turn the crankshaft so the No. 1 piston is at TDC (see
page 6-20).
. Clean the oil control orifice before installing.
a Do not use the upper cover and lower cover to store
removeo rlems.
