10. CHECK VALVE TIMING
(a) Slowly turn the crankshaft 2 revolutions, and align the tim-
ing marks of the crankshaft timing pulley and oil pump
body.
NOTICE:
Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
(b) Check that the timing marks of the RH and LH timing pul-
leys with the timing marks of the No.3 timing belt cover as
shown in the illustration.
If the marks do not align, remove the timing belt and reinstall it.
(c) Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
11. INSTALL RH ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET
Torque: 28 N´m (290 kgf´cm, 21 ft´lbf)
12. INSTALL NO.2 TIMING BELT COVER
(a) Check that the timing belt cover gasket has no cracks or
peeling, etc.
If the gasket has cracks or peeling, etc., replace it using these
steps:
Using a screwdriver and gasket scraper, remove all
the old gasket material.
Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the
loose material.
Remove the backing paper from a new gasket and
install the gasket evenly to the part of the timing belt
cover shaded black in the illustration.
After installing the gasket, press down on it so that
the adhesive firmly sticks to the timing belt cover.
(b) Install the timing belt cover with the 5 bolts.
Torque: 8.5 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 74 in.´lbf)
(c) Install the engine wire protector clamps to the No.3 timing
belt cover.
13. INSTALL TIMING BELT GUIDE
Install the timing belt guide, facing the cup side outward.

14. INSTALL NO.1 TIMING BELT COVER
(a) Check that the timing belt cover gaskets have cracks or
peeling, etc.
If the gasket has cracks or peeling, etc., replace it using these
steps:
Using a screwdriver and gasket scraper, remove all
the old gasket material.
Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the
loose material.
Remove the backing paper from a new gasket and
install the gasket evenly to the part of the timing belt
cover shaded black in the illustration.
NOTICE:
When joining 2 gaskets, do not leave a gap between them.
Cut off any excess gasket.
After installing the gasket, press down on it so that
the adhesive firmly sticks to the timing belt cover.
(b) Install the timing belt cover with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 8.5 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 74 in.´lbf)
15. INSTALL CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
(a) Align the pulley set key with the key groove of the pulley,
and slide on the pulley.
(b) Using SST, install the pulley bolt.

REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and
frequency of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear
protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thor-
oughly with soap and water, or use water-less hand
cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use
gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
In order to preserve the environment, used oil and
used oil filter must be disposed of only at designated
disposal sites.
1. DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil into a contain-
er.
2. REPLACE OIL FILTER
(a) Using SST, remove the oil filter.
SST 09228-07501
(b) Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.
(c) Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of a new oil filter.
(d) Lightly screw the oil filter into place, and tighten it until the
gasket contacts the seat.
(e) Using SST, tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND HOSES
HINT:
Check in a well lighted area. Check the entire circumference
and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as required. Turn
the front wheels fully right or left before checking the front brake.
(a) Check all brake lines and hoses for:
Damage
Wear
Deformation
Cracks
Corrosion
Leaks
Bends
Twists
(b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leak-
age.
(c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges,
moving parts and the exhaust system.
(d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through
the center of the grommets.
2. INSPECT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
(See page BR-26)
3. INSPECT REAR BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
(See page BR-35)
4. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE LININGS AND DRUMS
(See page BR-45)
