REMOVAL
REMOVAL - TIMING BELT
(1) Remove air cleaner upper cover, housing, and
clean air tube.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Remove accessory drive belts. (Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/BELT TENSION-
ERS - REMOVAL)
(4) Remove crankshaft vibration damper. (Refer to
9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/VIBRATION
DAMPER - REMOVAL)
(5) Remove air conditioner/generator belt tensioner
and pulley assembly. (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ACCES-
SORY DRIVE/BELT TENSIONERS - REMOVAL)
(6) Remove timing belt lower front cover bolts and
remove cover. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/
TIMING BELT / CHAIN COVER(S) - REMOVAL)
(7) Lower vehicle.
(8) Remove bolts attaching timing belt upper front
cover and remove cover. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT / CHAIN COVER(S)
- REMOVAL)
CAUTION: When aligning crankshaft and camshaft
timing marks always rotate engine from crankshaft.
Camshaft should not be rotated after timing belt is
removed. Damage to valve components may occur.
Always align timing marks before removing timing
belt.
(9) Before the removal of the timing belt, rotate
crankshaft until the TDC mark on oil pump housing
aligns with the TDC mark on crankshaft sprocket
(trailing edge of sprocket tooth) (Fig. 95).
NOTE: The crankshaft sprocket TDC mark is
located on the trailing edge of the sprocket tooth.
Failure to align trailing edge of sprocket tooth to
TDC mark on oil pump housing will cause the cam-
shaft timing marks to be misaligned.
(10) Install 6 mm Allen wrench into belt tensioner.
Before rotating the tensioner, insert the long end of a
1/8º or 3 mm Allen wrench into the pin hole on the
front of the tensioner (Fig. 96). While rotating the
tensioner counterclockwise, push in lightly on the
1/8º or 3 mm Allen wrench, until it slides into the
locking hole.
(11) Remove timing belt.
REMOVAL - CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove timing belt (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT/CHAIN AND
SPROCKETS - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove crankshaft sprocket using Special
Tools 6793 and insert C-4685-C2 (Fig. 97).
CLEANING
Do Not attempt to clean a timing belt. If contami-
nation from oil, grease, or coolants have occurred, the
timing belt should be replaced.
Clean all sprockets using a suitable solvent. Clean
all sprocket grooves of any debris.

CAUTION: The crankshaft sprocket is set to a pre-

ing belt tracking. If removed, use of Special Tool
6792 is required to set the sprocket to original
installation depth. An incorrectly installed sprocket
will result in timing belt and engine damage.
(1) Install crankshaft sprocket using Special Tool
6792 (Fig. 98).
(2) Install timing belt. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/

(1) Set crankshaft sprocket to TDC by aligning the
sprocket with the arrow on the oil pump housing.
(2) Set camshafts timing marks so that the
exhaust camshaft sprocket is a 1/2 notch below the
intake camshaft sprocket (Fig. 99).
CAUTION: Ensure that the arrows on both camshaft
sprockets are facing up.
(3) Install timing belt. Starting at the crankshaft,
go around the water pump sprocket, idler pulley,
camshaft sprockets and then around the tensioner
(Fig. 100).
(4) Move the exhaust camshaft sprocket counter-
clockwise (Fig. 100) to align marks and take up belt
slack.
(5) Inserta6mmAllen wrench into the hexagon
opening located on the top plate of the belt tensioner
pulley. Rotate the top plateCOUNTERCLOCK-
WISE. The tensioner pulley will move against the
belt and the tensioner setting notch will eventually
start to move clockwise. Watching the movement of
the setting notch, continue rotating the top plate
counterclockwise until the setting notch is aligned
with the spring tang (Fig. 101). Using the allen
wrench to prevent the top plate from moving, torque
the tensioner lock nut to 30 N´m (22 ft. lbs.). Setting
notch and spring tang should remain aligned after
lock nut is torqued.
(6) Remove allen wrench and torque wrench.NOTE: Repositioning the crankshaft to the TDC
position must be done only during the CLOCKWISE
rotation movement. If TDC is missed, rotate a fur-
ther two revolutions until TDC is achieved. DO NOT
rotate crankshaft counterclockwise as this will
make verification of proper tensioner setting impos-
sible.
(7) Once the timing belt has been installed and
tensioner adjusted, rotate the crankshaft CLOCK-
WISE two complete revolutions manually for seating
of the belt, until the crankshaft is repositioned at the
TDC position. Verify that the camshaft and crank-
shaft timing marks are in proper position (Fig. 102).

(8) Check if the spring tang is within the tolerance
window (Fig. 103). If the spring tang is within the
tolerance window, the installation process is complete
and nothing further is required. If the spring tang is
not within the tolerance window, repeat Steps 5
through 7.
(9) Install timing belt front covers and bolts.

TIMING BELT TENSIONER &
PULLEY
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the timing belt. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT/CHAIN AND
SPROCKETS - REMOVAL)
(2) Remove timing belt idler pulley.
(3) Hold camshaft sprocket with Special Tool 6847
while removing bolt (Fig. 104). Remove both cam
sprockets.
(4) Remove rear timing belt cover fasteners and
remove cover from engine (Fig. 105).
(5) Remove lower bolt attaching timing belt ten-
sioner assembly to engine and remove tensioneras
an assembly.
INSTALLATION
(1) Align timing belt tensioner assembly to engine
and install lower mounting boltbut do not tighten.
To properly align tensioner assemblyÐinstall one of
the engine bracket mounting bolts (M10) 5 to 7 turns
into the tensioner's upper mounting location.
(2) Torque the tensioner's lower mounting bolt to
61 N´m (45 ft. lbs.). Remove the upper bolt used for
tensioner alignment.
(3) Install rear timing belt cover and fasteners.
(4) Install timing belt idler pulley and torque
mounting bolt to 61 N´m (45 ft. lbs.).(5) Install camshaft sprockets. Use Special Tool
6847 to hold sprockets, torque bolts to 101 N´m (75
ft. lbs.).
(6) Install the timing belt. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT/CHAIN AND

BALANCE SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The 2.4L engine is equipped with two nodular cast
iron balance shafts installed in a cast aluminum car-
rier attached to the lower cylinder block (Fig. 106).
OPERATION
The balance shafts are driven by the crankshaft
via a roller chain and sprockets. The balance shafts
are connected by helical gears. The dual counter
rotating shafts decrease second order vertical shak-
ing forces caused by component movement.

(9) With balance shaft keyways pointing up (12
o'clock) slide the balance shaft sprocket onto the nose
of the balance shaft. The balance shaft may have to
be pushed in slightly to allow for clearance.
NOTE: THE TIMING MARK ON THE SPROCKET, THE
(LOWER) NICKEL PLATED LINK, AND THE ARROW
ON THE SIDE OF THE GEAR COVER SHOULD LINE
UP WHEN THE BALANCE SHAFTS ARE TIMED
CORRECTLY.
(10) If the sprockets are timed correctly, install the
balance shaft bolts and tighten to 28 N´m (250 in.
lbs.). A wood block placed between crankcase and
crankshaft counterbalance will prevent crankshaft
and gear rotation.(11)CHAIN TENSIONING:
(a) Install chain tensioner loosely assembled.
(b) Position guide on double ended stud making
sure tab on the guide fits into slot on the gear
cover. Install and tighten nut/washer assembly to
12 N´m (105 in. lbs.).
(c) Place a shim 1 mm (0.039 in.) thick x 70 mm
(2.75 in.) long or between tensioner and chain.
Push tensioner and shim up against the chain.
Apply firm pressure 2.5±3 Kg (5.5±6.6 lbs.)
directly behind the adjustment slot to take up
all slack.Chain must have shoe radius contact as
shown in (Fig. 115).
(d) With the load applied, tighten top tensioner
bolt first, then bottom pivot bolt. Tighten bolts to
12 N´m (105 in. lbs.). Remove shim.
(e) Install carrier covers and tighten screws to
12 N´m (105 in. lbs.).
(12) Install pick-up tube and oil pan.
(13) Fill engine crankcase with proper oil to cor-
rect level.
