HINT (When re±using timing belt): After loosening
the crankshaft pulley bolt, check that the timing belt
matchmark aligns with the end of the No. 1 timing belt
cover when the crankshaft pulley groove is aligned
with the timing mark ª0º of the No. 1 timing belt cover.
If the matchmark does not align, align as follows:
When matchmark is misaligned counterclockwise:
wAlign the rnatchmarks by pulling the timing belt up
on the No.1 idler pulley side while turning the
crankshaft pulley clockwise. When matchmark is misaligned clockwise:
wAlign the matchmark by pulling the timing belt up
on the water pump pulley side while turning the
crankshaft pulley counterclockwise.
wAfter aligning the matchmark, hold the timing
belt, turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, and
align its groove with timing mark ª0º of the No.1
timing belt cover. 16. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY

without turning it.
19. REMOVE TIMING BELT
HINT (When re±using timing belt): Draw a direction
arrow on the timing belt (in the direction of engine
revolution), and place matchmarks on the timing belt
and crankshaft timing pulley.wAfter aligning the matchmark, hold the timing
belt, turn the crankshaft pulley counterclockwise,
and align its groove with timing mark ª0º of the
No.1 timing belt cover.

wDo not utilize timing belt tension when installing or
removing the mounting bolt of the camshaft timing
pulley.
If there are any defects as shown in the illustration,
check the following points:
(a) Premature parting
wCheck for proper installation.
wCheck the timing cover gasket for damage and
proper installation.
(b) If the belt teeth are cracked or damaged, check to see
if either camshaft or water pump is locked.
(e) If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check the
timing cover for damage, correct gasket installation,
and for foreign material on the pulley teeth.
If necessary, replace the timing belt. (c) If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face,
check to see if there are nicks on the side of the idler
pulley lock.
(d) If there is wear or damage on only one side of the belt,
check the belt guide and the alignment of each pulley.

mounting bolts. (d) w/ Green Tension Spring:
Slowly turn the crankshaft pulley 1 and 7/8 revolu±
tions, and align its groove with the mark at 45 BTDC
(for No.1 cylinder) of the No.1 timing belt cover.
NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
(c) Check that each pulley aligns with the timing marks as
shown in the illustration..
If the timing marks do not align, remove the timing
belt and reinstall it. (b) Turn the crankshaft pulley 2 revolutions from TDC to
TDC.
NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
(e) Torque the mounting bolt of the No.1 idler pulley.
Torque: 42 N±m (425 kgf±cm, 31 ft±lbf)
