ENGINE – Timing Belt11-22
REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

ATIMING BELT REMOVAL
(1) If the timing belt is to be reused, chalk an arrow mark
on the back surface of the belt so that the belt can be
reinstalled in the same direction.
(2) Place the exhaust camshaft sprocket in a position where
the timing mark for No. 1 cylinder is positioned about
one tooth before the top dead center of the compression
stroke.
Caution
The camshaft sprocket on the exhaust side can turn
very easily because of the valve spring tension. Use
care not to allow your fingers to get caught by the
sprocket.
(3) Loosen the lock nut of the tensioner pulley, then remove
the timing belt.

BOIL PUMP SPROCKET REMOVAL
(1) Remove the plug on the left side of cylinder block.
(2) Insert a screwdriver (shank diameter 8 mm) to block the
counterbalance shaft.
(3) Loosen the flange bolt.
(4) Remove the oil pump sprocket.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
 A DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
(1) Align the hole in the auto tensioner bracket with that in the arm and insert a screwdriver into the holes.
(2) Remove the drive belt.
 B POWER STEERING OIL PUMP REMOVAL
Remove the power steering oil pump from the bracket with
the hose attached.
NOTE
Place the removed power steering oil pump in a place where
it will not be a hindrance when removing and installing the
engine assembly, and tie it with a cord.
 C A/C COMPRESSOR REMOVAL
Disconnect the A/C compressor connector and remove the
compressor from the compressor bracket with the hose still
attached.
NOTE
Place the removed A/C compressor where it will not be a
hindrance when removing and installing the engine assembly,
and tie it with a cord.
 D ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET REMOVAL
(1) Support the engine with a garage jack.
(2) Remove the special tools which was attached when the transmission assembly was removed.
(3) Hold the engine assembly with a chain block or similar tool.
(4) Place a garage jack against the engine oil pan with a piece of wood in between, jack up the engine so that
the weight of the engine is no longer being applied to
the engine mount bracket, and then remove the engine
mount bracket.

E ENGINE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
After checking that all cables, hoses and harness connectors,
etc., are disconnected from the engine, lift the chain block
slowly to remove the engine assembly upward from the engine
compartment.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
 A ENGINE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
Install the engine assembly, checking that the cables, hoses,
and harness connectors are not clamped.
 B ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET INSTALLATION
(1) Place a garage jack against the engine oil pan with a piece of wood in between, and install the engine mount
bracket while adjusting the position of the engine.
(2) Support the engine with the garage jack.
(3) Remove the chain block and support the engine assembly
with the special tools.
 C HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL HOSE INSTALLATION
(1) Apply a small amount of new engine oil to the O-ring, then fit the O-ring in the delivery pipe.
Caution
Do not let any engine oil get into the delivery pipe.
(2) Check that the high pressure hose turns smoothly. If the hose does not turn smoothly, the O-ring is probably
being clamped. Disconnect the high-pressure fuel hose
and check the O-ring for damage. After this, re-install
the hose to the delivery pipe and check that the hose
turns smoothly.
(3) Tighten the mounting bolt to the specification.
