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 N m) 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.
