Timing Belt
Removal
Replace the timing belt at 105,000 miles (168,000 km)
according to the maintenance schedule {normal condi-
tions/severe conditions). lf the vehicle is regularly driven
in either of the following conditions, replace the timing
belt at 60,000 miles (U.S.A.l 100.000 km (Canada).
- ln very high temperatures (over 110'F, 43"C).- In very low temperatures (under -20"F. -29"C).
Turn the crankshaft pu\ley so the No. 1 piston is at
top dead center (TDC).
Remove the guard bar and splash shield (see page
5-7 ).
Loosen the mounting bolt and lock bolt. then remove
the power steering (P/S) pump belt.

lf the camshaft pulleys are not positioned at TDC,
remove the timing belt. adjust the position following
the procedure on page 6-11. then reinstall the timing
belt.
Installthe cylinder head cover (see page 6-32).
After installation, adjust the tension on each belt.

Dry the crankshaft oil seal housing.
Apply a light coat of grease to the crankshsft and to
the lips of the seals.
Using the special tool, drive in the timing pulley-end
seal until the driver bottoms against the oil pump.
When the seal is in place, clean any excess grease
off the crankshaft and check that the oil seal lip is
not distorted,
