INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
>>A<< IGNITION COIL BOOT INSTALLA-
TION

CAUTION

• When the ignition coil boot is not installed as 

indicated, realize that it would be possibly the 
causes of the malfunctions which lead to an 
inappropriate ignition coil operation, a dam-
aged ignition coil, a high voltage leakage 
toward the outside and water immersion into 
the hole.

• White powders are applied to the fitting area 

of the spark plug on the ignition coil boot in 
order to prevent the fitting area from baking 
onto the spark plug. Do not touch or clean 
them.

1. Confirm the spring is attached to the new ignition 

coil boot inside.

2. Push and install the new ignition coil boot into the 

ignition coil without a clearance, turning the fitting 
area twice or three times.

3. After the installation, turn the ignition coil boot so 

that the air bleeding hole can be in position 
indicated in the illustration.

TIMING BELT

ENGINE OVERHAUL

11B-18

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
<<A>> PLUG CAP REMOVAL

Loosen the plug cap, holding the hexagonal portion 
of the camshaft with a wrench.

<<B>> TIMING BELT REMOVAL

1. If the timing belt is to be reused, make an arrow 

mark with something like chalk on the back of the 
belt indicating the direction of rotation so it may be 
reinstalled in the same direction.

CAUTION

Never remove the timing belt with any piston at 
the top dead centre (TDC). If a piston is at TDC, 
the exhaust valves of the cylinder are pushed by 
the exhaust cams, compressing the valve 
springs. If the belt is removed under this condi-
tion, the sprocket will be turned in the reverse 
direction by the force of the springs, incurring 
risk of injury.
2. Set the timing mark of the exhaust camshaft 

sprocket to a point about one tooth before the 
TDC of the No.1 cylinder piston on compression 
stroke.

3. Loosen the lock nut of the tensioner pulley, then 

remove the timing belt.
