14. CONNECT TIMING BELT TO CAMSHAFT TIMING
PULLEYS
HINT:
When re±using timing belt:
Check that the matchmark on the timing belt matches the
end of the No.1 timing belt cover.
If the matchmark does not align, shift the meshing of the
timing belt and crankshaft timing pulley until they align.
Align the matchmarks of the timing belt and camshaft tim-
ing pulleys.
(a) Remove any oil or water on the camshaft timing pulley,
and keep it clean.
(b) Install the timing belt, checking the tension between the
crankshaft timing pulley and intake camshaft timing
pulley.
