-  Turn crankshaft at central bolt of toothed belt gear in direction of 
engine rotation to cyl. 1 TDC. Timing marks -A- and -B- must be 
aligned. 
    
WARNING! 
DO NOT turn crankshaft while checking for TDC mark. Personal 
injury may result.  -  Check position of camshafts. Large holes (arrow) of securing plates on 
camshaft sprockets must face toward inside and align. 
   If not, turn crankshaft one revolution further.
-  Remove sealing plug from left-side of cylinder block.
-  Top Dead Center (TDC) mark on crankshaft must be visible or be felt 
behind bore of removed sealing plug.

CAUTION! 
Before removing ribbed belt, note direction of rotation with chalk or 
felt-tip marker. Reversing the direction of rotation of a used belt can 
destroy the belt. When installing the ribbed belt, make sure it is 
seated correctly on the pulley. 
Notes:  -  Install 3242 crankshaft holder into sealing plug opening.
-  Remove tensioner for ribbed belt.
-  Remove center and right toothed belt guards.
The toothed belt tensioner is oil dampened. Compress it by slowly 
applying constant pressure. Use spring clamp from 2024A.
    
-  Using 8 mm hex wrench, turn toothed belt tensioning roller -1- counter-
clockwise, opposite direction shown (arrow), until tensioning lever -2- 
compresses tensioner -3- so that spring clamp (2 mm dia.) can be 
inserted into bore and lifter.

Note:  
The camshaft sprockets should be loose enough on the cone to be 
turned, but not so loose as to be tipped.  -  Remove both camshaft sprockets using T40001 special tool.
-  Reinstall both camshaft sprockets together with locking plates and 
hand-tighten. 
    
-  Install toothed belt on all sprockets as shown in illustration.
-  Install 3391 camshaft locator bar.

1) Always replace the center bolt.  2) Two turns of 90  are permissible.   -  Using 8 mm hex wrench, turn toothed belt tensioner roller -1- counter-
clockwise, opposite direction shown (arrow) until tensioning lever -2- 
compresses tensioner -3- so that spring clamp can be removed and 
then remove clamp. 
-  Before starting engine, pre-load timing tensioning roller as follows:
  -  Using a torque wrench with 8 mm hex bit, apply tension to toothed 
belt clockwise in direction shown (arrow) until a torque of 15 Nm is 
attained. This ensures tensioner has expanded completely and is 
properly engaging toothed belt. Component
