Warning
•When the engine and the oil are hot, they can badly burn. Be careful not to burn yourself during
removal/installation of each component.
1. Verify that the battery is fully charged.
•Recharge it if necessary. (See G–6 BATTERY INSPECTION.)
2. Warm up the engine to the normal operating system temperature.
3. Stop the engine and allow it to cool off for about 10 min.
Warning
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and
damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent fuel from spurting out of the glow plug
hole, do not ground the fuel injector terminal. (See F2–45 Fuel Line Safety Procedures.)
4. Disconnect the fuel injector connector.
Warning
•If the glow plug harness connector is connected, the glow plug harness and engine component
can come into contact and cause a short when the engine switch is ON. Disconnect the glow plug
harness connector before turning the engine switch on.
5. Remove the engine cover. (See B2–9 TIMING BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
6. Remove all the glow plugs. (See F2–42 GLOW
PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

7. Install the SSTs into the glow plug hole.
8. Crank the engine and note the maximum gauge
reading.
9. Inspect each cylinder as above.
•If the compression in one or more cylinders is
low, pour a small amount of clean engine oil
into the cylinder and reinspect the
compression.
—If the compression increases, the piston,
the piston rings, or cylinder wall may be
worn and overhaul is required.
—If the compression stays low, a valve may
be stuck or improperly seated and
overhaul is required.
—If the compression in adjacent cylinders stays low, the cylinder head gasket may be damaged or the
cylinder head may be distorted and overhaul is required.

Warning
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injures or death and
damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line
Safety Procedure”. (See F2–45 Fuel Line Safety Procedures.)
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the front tire (RH).
3. Remove the splash shield (RH).
4. Remove the washer tank.
5. Remove the drive belt. (See B2–4 DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT.)
6. Remove the fuel filter with the fuel hose still connected and position the fuel filter so that it is out of the way.
( L.H.D.) (See F2–50 FUEL FILTER COMPONENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
7. Remove in the order shown in the table.
8. Install in the reverse order of removal.
9. Start the engine and inspect the pulleys and the drive belt for runout and contact.

Lower Timing Belt Cover Removal Note
Caution
•The timing belt cover could be damaged
easily. Hold the timing belt cover at the
locations indicated in the figure and
remove the crankshaft position sensor
harness slowly.
Timing Belt, Timing Belt Auto Tensioner Removal Note
1. Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing
marks as shown.
Caution
•Forcefully twisting the belt, turning it
inside out, or allowing oil or grease on it
will damage the belt and shorten its life.
•After removing the timing belt, do not
move the crankshaft and/or camshaft
from this position because it can cause
the valve and piston to come into
contact.
2. Remove the timing belt auto tensioner.
3. Mark the timing belt rotation on the belt for proper
reinstallation.

Timing Belt, Timing Belt Auto Tensioner Installation Note
1. Measure the tensioned rod projection length.
•If not as specified, replace the timing belt auto
tensioner.
2. Inspect the timing belt auto tensioner for oil
leakage.
•If not as specified, replace the timing belt auto
tensioner.
Projection (free length)
12.9—14.6 mm {0.508—0.574 in}
Caution
•Placing the timing belt auto tensioner
horizontally can cause oil leakage and
damage the timing belt auto tensioner. Place the timing belt auto tensioner vertically when using a
vise.
3. Verify the thrust of the timing belt auto tensioner
rod in the following order:
•If the timing belt auto tensioner rod is rigid
when it is pushed with a force of
approximately 235 N {24 kgf, 53 Ibf}, push it
down slowly and fix the pin in the hole.
•If there is no resistance on the timing belt auto
tensioner rod and it moves slightly when it is
pushed with a force of approximately 235 N
{24 kgf, 53 Ibf};
(1) Push it down slowly two or three times to the
bottom end of the rod.
(2) If the rod protrudes approximately 8.1 mm
{0.32 in}, verify that there is resistance on the
timing belt auto tensioner rod.
Caution
•To prevent damage to the inside of the
timing belt auto tensioner, do not press
down the timing belt auto tensioner rod
with a force greater than the specified
235 N {24 kgf, 53 lbf}.
Be careful that the rod does not touch the
bottom.
•If the timing belt auto tensioner rod
projection is restored, push it down slowly and fix the pin in the hole.
—If the resistance is not restored, replace the timing belt auto tensoner.

Caution
•To prevent the bolts (M8 x 1.25) from damaging the fuel injection pump and pulley, do not fully
tighten the fixing bolts. If it contacts the pulley surface, it will damage the pulley.
4. Verify that all timing marks are correctly aligned.
•If not, align all timing marks according to the
procedure below.
5. Fix the camshaft pulley to the cylinder head using
bolt (M8 x1.25).
6. Fix the injection pump pulley to the bracket using
two bolts (M8 x1.25).
Caution
•Turn the crankshaft in the direction
which will prevent the TDC and BDC from
being passed. Otherwise it can cause the
valve and piston to come into contact.
(1) Turn the crankshaft and set it at an angle of 45° or more away from the TDC and BDC.
(2) Align the timing marks of the camshaft pulley.
(3) Align the timing marks of the injection pump pulley.
(4) Turn the crankshaft and align the timing marks of the timing belt pulley.
7. Install the timing belt on the pulleys in the order
shown below.
(1) Timing belt pulley
(2) Idler
(3) Supply pump pulley
(4) Camshaft pulley
(5) Water pump pulley
(6) Tensioner
8. Remove the supply pump pulley fixing bolts and
camshaft pulley fixing bolt (M8 x 1.25).
9. Hand tighten the timing belt auto tensioner bolts
in the order A to B as indicated in the figure.
10. Tighten the timing belt auto tensioner bolts in the
order A to B as indicated in the figure.
Tightening torque
19—25 N·m {1.9—2.6 kgf·m, 14—18 ft·lbf}
11. Remove the pin from the timing belt auto
tensioner to apply tension to the belt.
12. Turn the crankshaft clockwise twice, and align the
timing marks.
13. Verify that all timing marks are correctly aligned.
•If not as specified, repeat from Timing Belt,
