2000 TOYOTA CAMRY belt

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.
