6. Remove front chain case.
+Move power steering fluid reservoir tank from the bracket.
+Loosen fixing bolts in the reverse order of that shown in the
figure and remove them.
+Remove all bolts with the rubber washer as space is limited
for pulling them out.
CAUTION:
+While front chain case is removed, cover openings to
prevent entry of foreign material into engine.
+Do not remove two mass dampers on the back of cover.
7. Set the No. 1 piston to TDC on its compression stroke.
+Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise so that the alignment mark
(punched mark) on each camshaft sprocket is positioned as
shown in the figure.
+No position indicator is provided on the crankshaft pul-
ley.
+When installing, color coded links on the secondary tim-
ing chain can be used as alignment marks. Marking may
not be necessary for removal; however, make alignment
marks as required because the alignment mark on fuel
injection pump sprocket may not be easy to see.
8. Remove chain tensioner.
a. Push the plunger of chain tensioner and keep it pressed with
a push pin.
b. Using a hexagon-head wrench [face to face: 5 mm (0.20 in),
SST], remove bolts to remove chain tensioner.

Checking Drive Belts
INSPECTION
+Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has
cooled down; wait approximately 30 minutes after the engine
has been stopped.
+Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage, or cracks on
contacting surfaces and edge areas.
+When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
.marked point.
+When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust
to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
+Tighten idler pulley lock nut and measure deflection
without looseness.

CAUTION:
+When a new belt is installed as a replacement, adjust it
to the value specified under ªNewº accommodations
because of insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.
+If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the
ªLimit for re-tighteningº, adjust to the ªAdjusted valueº.

+When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to
the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
+Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley
grooves during installation.
+Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with oil or
cooling water etc.
+Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.

Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
+Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
+Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil
may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Put vehicle horizontally.
2. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
3. Stop engine and wait more than 10 minutes.
4. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
5. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.
