TIMING BELT INSTALLATION
(1) Place the camshaft sprocket timing marks at the positions
shown.
NOTE
After aligning the sprocket timing marks, let go of the
sprockets. The exhaust camshaft sprocket will rotate by
one tooth in the direction shown and remain stable in
this position.
(2) Align the crankshaft timing mark with the timing mark
on the front case.
(3) Turn the exhaust camshaft sprocket in the direction shown
and fit the timing belt with the timing marks aligned.
(4) Use a bulldog clip to prevent the timing belt teeth from
jumping.
(5) Fit the timing belt onto the idler pulley, crankshaft sprocket,
and tensioner pulley in that order.
NOTE
When fitting the belt, keep the camshaft sprocket timing
marks correctly aligned and keep the tension side of the
belt tight.
(6) 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.
(7) Remove the bulldog clip.
(8) 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.
(9) Tighten the tensioner pulley mounting bolts.
