ST2 498457100 ENGINE STAND ADAPTER
LH
ST3 499817000 ENGINE STAND

2) All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying
special attention to the engine oil passages, pis-
tons and bearings.
3) Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston,
bearing and gear should be coated with oil prior to
assembly.
4) Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant con-
tact the timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
5) All removed parts, if to be reused, should be
reinstalled in the original positions and directions.
6) All removed parts, if to be reused, should be
reinstalled in the original positions and directions.
7) Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced
with new ones as required.
8) Even if necessary inspections have been made
in advance, proceed with assembly work while
making rechecks.

B: INSPECTION
1. TIMING BELT
1) Check timing belt teeth for breaks, cracks, and
wear. If any fault is found, replace belt.
2) Check the condition of back side of belt; if any
crack is found, replace belt.
CAUTION:
IBe careful not to let oil, grease or coolant
contact the belt. Remove quickly and thor-
oughly if this happens.
IDo not bend the belt sharply.
Bending radius: h
60 mm (2.36 in) or more
G2M0115
2. AUTOMATIC BELT TENSION
ADJUSTER
1) Visually check oil seals for leaks, and rod ends
for abnormal wear or scratches. If necessary,
replace faulty parts.
CAUTION:
Slight traces of oil at rod's oil seal does not
indicate a problem.
2) Check that the adjuster rod does not move
when a pressure of 294 N (30 kg, 66 lb) is applied
to it. This is to check adjuster rod stiffness.
3) If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves freely
when applying 294 N (30 kg, 66 lb), check it using
the following procedures:
(1) Slowly press the adjuster rod down to the
end surface of the cylinder. Repeat this motion
2 or 3 times.
(2) With the adjuster rod moved all the way up,
apply a pressure of 294 N (30 kg, 66 lb) to it.
Check adjuster rod stiffness.
(3) If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves
down, replace the automatic belt tension
adjuster assembly with a new one.
CAUTION:
IAlways use a vertical type pressing tool to
move the adjuster rod down.
IDo not use a lateral type vise.
IPush adjuster rod vertically.
