ENGINE -Timing Belt and Timing Belt B11A-40
(2) Hook the timing belt with exhaust side of the camshaft
sprocket and retain the specified position indicated
in the figure with paper clips.
(3) Use two wrenches to hook the timing belt to the intake
side of the camshaft sprocket while aligning the timing
marks on the rocker cover and camshaft sprocket.
(4) Retain timing belt at the specified positions with paper
clips according to the figure.
(5) Hook the timing bolt to the tensioner pulley.
(6) Remove two paper clips.
Caution
After hooking the timing belt, apply force to the
camshaft sprocket counterclockwise(in left turn)
and reconfirm that each timing mark is in the
proper position while the belt is being stretched.
4. Use the special tool to rotate the tensioner pulley in the
direction indicated in the figure, tighten the timing belt,
and temporarily tighten the mounting bolt of the tensioner
pulley for fixing.
5. Check that each timing mark is properly aligned.
6. Remove the screw driver and install a plug.
7. Adjust timing belt tension.
"GATIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
1. After removal of the rubber plug of the timing belt rear
cover, prepare the special tool to insert the special tool
into the position where a wire or a pin inserted during
installation of automatic tensioner can be moved easily.
Caution
Be sure to pressfit the special tool with a hand because
pressfitting the special tool with tools, such as
spanner, and etc. could damage a wire or a pin inserted
into the automatic tensioner.

2. Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise for 1/4 round.
3. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and mate timing marks
with each other to position No.1 cylinder at compression
TDC.
4. Loosen the temporarily tightened tensioner pulley
mounting bolt.
5. Use the special tool and torque wrench to apply tension
torque (3.5 Nm) to the timing belt in the direction indicated
in the figure and tighten the tensioner pulley mounting bolt
to the specified torque.
Tightening Torque: 48±5 N·m
Caution
Be careful not to let the tensioner pulley rotate together
when tightening the mounting bolt. If the tensioner
rotates together, belt tension becomes too loose.
6. Remove a wire or a pin inserted during installation of
the automatic tensioner.
7. Remove the special tool installed in the above - mentioned
1 with a hand.
8. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise for two rounds and leave
it alone for approximately 15 minutes.
9. Insert the removed wire or pin in the above - mentioned
6 again to check that it can be removed easily.
If either wire or pin can be removed easily, the timing
belt tension is correct and remove a wire or a pin. Then,
check that projection of the automatic tensioner rod is
within the standard value.
Standard value (A): 3.8 - 4.5 mm
10. If a wire or a pin cannot be easily removed, repeat the
above-mentioned operations 1 - 8 to obtain the correct
timing belt tension.
11. Check that timing marks of each sprocket are aligned
with each other.
Caution
After turning the crankshaft bolt counterclockwise,
always check the tightening torque of the crankshaft
bolt and tighten it again if it becomes loose.

INSPECTION
AUTO-TENSIONER CHECK
1. Check the sealant for oil leakage and replace if necessary.
2. Check the rod end for wear or damage and replace if
necessary.
3. Measure the deflection of the rod end pressed against
the metal (cylinder block, etc) with the force of 98 - 196
N while holding the auto-tensioner with a hand.
Standard value: Within 1 mm
A: Length in the released state
B: Length in the pressed state
A - B: Deflection
4. If the value is outside the standard value, replace the
auto-tensioner.
TIMING BELT B TENSION CHECK
1. Measure the tension of timing belt B by following
procedures.
Standard value:
ItemWhen checked
Vibration frequency Hz52 - 92
Deflection mm (Reference)5-10

Tap the center of the belt between the pulleys (arrow),
and check that the belt vibration frequency is within the
standard values.
NOTE
For the vibration frequency measurement using the
MUT-II, refer to P11A-37.

Apply a force of approx.100N to the middle (arrow part)
of pulley shown in the figure, and check that the deflection
is within the standard value.
2. If it is outside the standard value, re-adjust belt tension.

the auto-tensioner and rotate it counterclockwise until
the auto-tensioner reaches to the stopper.
2. Align hole A with hole B for fixing by inserting the L
shaped-hexagon wrench, then remove the drive belt.
Caution
When the drive belt is reused, use a chalk to indicate
an arrow of rotation direction on the back of the belt
so that it can be re-assembled in the same direction
as before.
