TIMING BELT INSTALLATION
(1) Align the camshaft timing mark with the timing mark on
the cylinder head.
(2) Align the crankshaft timing mark with the timing mark
on the front case.
(3) Keeping the tension side of the timing belt tight, fit the
timing belt onto the crankshaft sprocket, camshaft
sprocket, and tensioner pulley in that order.
(4) Loosen the tensioner pulley mounting bolts by 1/4 to
1/2 of a turn and allow the tensioner spring to apply tension
to the timing belt.
(5) Turn the crankshaft twice in the normal rotating direction
(clockwise) and check that the timing marks are correctly
aligned.
Caution
This procedure utilizes the camshaft’s driving torque
to apply tension evenly to the timing belt. Be sure
to turn the crankshaft as described above. Do not
turn the crankshaft in reverse.
(6) Tighten the tensioner pulley mounting bolts.
