5. With the specified air pressure appli€d, push up the
timing plate; the synchronizing piston will pop out
and engage the intake secondary rocker arm.
Visually check the engagement of the synchronizing
prston.
NOTE;
The synchronizing piston can be seen in the gap
between the secondary and primary rocker arms,
With the timing plate engaged in the groove on
the timing piston, the piston is locked in the
oushed out Dosition.

6. Stop applying air pressure and push up the timing
plate; the synchronizing piston will snap back to its
original position.
Visually check the disengagement of the synchro-
nizing pistons.
NOTE:
. When the timing plate is pushed up, it releases
the timing piston, letting the return spring move
the synchronizing piston to its original position.
7. Replace the intake rocker arms as an assembly if
either does not work correctly,

Valve Clearance
Adjustment
NOTE:
. Valves should be adjusted only when the cylindsrhead temperature is less than 100"F (38"C).
. After adjusting, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt(see page 6-16).
1, Remove the cylinder head cover.
NOTE; Refer to page e46 when installing the cytinderhead cover.
2. Remove the upper cover (see page 6-19).
3. Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. The "UP" mark on the
cam-shaft pulley should be at top, and the TDC
marks should align with the cylinder head surface.

Tension Adjustment
CAUTION: lt*ays aa;j"t the timing bett rension withthe engine cold.
NOTE:
. The tensioner is spring loaded to apply tension to thebelt automatically after making the following adjustment.
. Always rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise whenviewed from the pulley side. Rotating it clockwisemay result in improper adjustment of the belt ten-sion.
. lnspect the timing belt before adjusting the belt ten-ston.
1.Remove the cylinder head cover.
. Refer to page 6,46 when installing.
Remove the upper cover (see page 6,'19).

Removal
NOTE:
. Replace the timing belt at 105,000 miles (168.000 km)
according to the maintenance schedule (normal con-
ditions/severe conditions).
lf the vehicle is regularly driven in one or more of the
followlng conditions, replace the timing belt at 60.000
miles (U.S.A.) 100,000 km {Canada).
.In very high temperatures (over 110'F.43'C)
. In very low temperatures (under -20'F, -29"C)'
! Turn the crankshaft pulley so the No. 1 piston is at
top dead center (TDC) before removing the belt (see
page 6'21).
. Inspect the water pump before installing the timing
belt {see Page 10-14).
1. Remove the splash shield (see page 5-7).
2. Loosen the mounting bolt and lock bolt. then remove

Removal
Engine removal is not required for this procedure
!!!s@ Make sure iacks and salety stands are
f ta"eata"ea propetty and hoist brackets are attached to the
correct positions on the engine.
CAUTION:
. Use tender covels to avoid damaging painted sul-
faces.
o To avoid damage, unplug the wiling connectors
carefully while holding the connector portion to
avoid damage.
. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100"F
{38"C} before loossning the tetaining bolts.
NOTE:
o Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnectlon
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.
. Inspect the timing belt before removing the cylinder
h ead.
. Turnthe crankshaft pu lley so that the No. lpistonisat

'1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery'
Drain the engine coolant (see page'10-7).
a Remove the radiator cap to speed draining.
Remove the intake air duct and air cleaner housing
(see page 5 3).
Remove the mounting bolt and lock bolt. then
remove the power steering (P/S) pump belt and
pump (see page 5'5).
Loosen the idler pulley center nut and adjusting
bolt' then remove the air conditioning (A'lc) com-
pressor belt (see Page 5-6).
Loosen the mounting nut and lock bolt. then

you must replace the cylinder head.
- lf the camshaft has not been replaced, first check
the total runout with the camshaft supported on
V-blocks.

- lf the total runout of the camshaft is within toler-
ance, replace the cylinder head.
- lf the total runout is out of tolerance, replace the
camshaft and recheck the camshaft-to-holder oil
clearance. lf the oil clearance is still out of toler-
ance. replace the cylinder head.
