3. Use special tool to tighten bolts according to the following
procedure (tightening for plastic zone)
(1) According to the sequence specified in the figure,
tighten the bolt to the specified torque 78±2 N·m.
(2) In the reverse sequence of the figure, fully loosen
bolts.
(3) According to the sequence specified in the figure,
tighten bolts to the specified torque 20±2 N·m.
(4) Indicate paint markings on the heads of cylinder head
bolts and cylinder head, and tighten bolts at the angle
of 90 degree in the sequence specified in the figure.
(5) When bolts are tightened at the angle of 90 degree
according to the figure, ensure that the paint markings
on the heads of cylinder head bolts and cylinder head
are standing in line.
Caution
1) When the tightening angle is under 90 degree,
the bolt is not sufficiently tightened.
2) When the tightening angle exceeds the
specified value, remove the bolt and repeat
the same procedure beginning with Step 1.
"CAO-RING/FUEL HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
INSTALLATION
1. Apply small quantity of new engine oil on O-ring.
Caution
Do not let engine oil get into the delivery pipe.
2. Install the fuel high pressure pipe to the delivery pipe
rotating in both directions without damaging the O-ring
and check that it rotates smoothly.

pressure hose and insert it to the delivery pipe again
after checking damage of the O-ring since there is a
possibility of O-ring engagement.
4. Tighten fuel high pressure hose mounting bolts to the
specified torque.
Tightening Torque: 5.0±1.0 N·m
"DAOIL RETURN PIPE GASKET INSTALLATION

ENGINE -Timing Belt and Timing Belt B11A-39
"FATIMING BELT INSTALLATION
1. Check that timing marks of camshaft sprocket, crankshaft
sprocket, and oil pump sprocket are aligned with each
other.
2. After aligning the timing marks of the oil pump sprocket,
remove the cylinder block plug and insert a Phillips screw
driver with a shaft diameter of 8 mm through the plug
hole to check that the shaft of the screw driver can be
inserted for 60 mm or more. If the screw driver makes
contact with the balancer shaft and can be inserted for
only 20 - 25 mm, turn the sprocket for one round and
align timing marks again to check that screw driver can
be inserted for 60 mm or more. Do not take the screw
driver out before completing installation of the timing belt.
3. Position the timing belt without having any slack at the
tension side of the belt.
(1) Hook the timing belt to the crankshaft sprocket, the
oil pump sprocket, and the idler pulley in the sequence.

ENGINE -Timing belt and timing belt B11A-42
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.
