2. Slowly compress the pushrod of the auto-tensioner until pin hole A in the
pushrod is aligned with pin hole B in the cylinder.
3. Insert the setting pin into the pin holes once they are aligned.
NOTE: If replacing the auto-tensioner, the pin will already
be inserted into the pin holes of the new part.

>>B<< TIMING BELT INSTALLATION 1. Align the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets with those on the rocker
cover and the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket with that on the engine
block as shown in the illustration.
CAUTION: Do not remove the setting pin from the auto-
tensioner.
CAUTION: The camshaft sprocket (right bank) can turn
easily due to the spring force applied, so be
careful not to get your fingers caught.

2. Install the timing belt by the following procedure so that there is no deflection
in the timing belt between each sprocket and pulley.
1. Crankshaft sprocket
2. Idler pulley
3. Camshaft sprocket (Left bank)
4. Water pump pulley
5. Camshaft sprocket (Right bank)
6. Tensioner pulley
3. Turn the camshaft sprocket (Right bank) counterclockwise until the tension
side of the timing belt is firmly stretched. Check all the timing marks again.
4. Use special tool MD998767 to push the tensioner pulley into the timing belt,
then temporarily tighten the center bolt.

6. Loosen the center bolt of the tensioner pulley. Use special tool MD998767 and
a torque wrench to apply the tension torque to the timing belt as shown in the
illustration. Then tighten the center bolt to the specified torque.
Standard value: 4.4 N.m (39 in-lb) < Timing belt tension torque >
CAUTION: When tightening the center bolt, be careful that
the tensioner pulley does not turn with the bolt.
