Belt, Timing: Installation
- If removed, install the (special tool #10276, Tool, Crankshaft Timing Locking) (1) with three bolts (3) tightened to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.) and one bolt (2) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- If removed, install the (special tool #10277, Tool, Camshaft Timing Locking) (1) to the rear of the camshaft. Install three bolts (2) and tighten to 20 N.m (15 ft. lbs.).
- Use the (special tool #6847, Holder, Camshaft Sprocket) (2) to hold the camshaft sprocket (3) and loosen the bolt (1). The camshaft sprocket (3) should now be free to rotate on the camshaft.NOTE:
If the original timing belt is being reused, install the belt so that it maintains the same direction of rotation as when it was removed.
- Install the timing belt starting with the crankshaft sprocket, then the water pump sprocket, finishing with the camshaft sprocket.
- Using transmission style 90° offset snap-ring pliers (3), rotate and adjust the timing tensioner so that the slots (2) are aligned. Tighten the lock nut (1) to 28 N.m (21 ft. lbs.).
- Use the (special tool #6847, Holder, Camshaft Sprocket) (2) to hold the camshaft sprocket (3) and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt (1) to 120 N.m (88 ft. lbs.).
- Remove the (special tool #10277, Tool, Camshaft Timing Locking) and the (special tool #10276, Tool, Crankshaft Timing Locking).
- Rotate the crankshaft clockwise at least two complete revolutions to center the timing belt on the sprockets.
- Verify that the slots (2) are still aligned. If required, loosen the tensioner lock nut (1), readjust the timing belt tensioner and tighten the lock nut (2) to 28 N.m (21 ft. lbs.).NOTE:
Reinstall the timing locking tools to verify correct camshaft timing.
- Install the (special tool #10277, Tool, Camshaft Timing Locking) (1) to the rear of the camshaft. Install three bolts (2) and tighten to 20 N.m (15 ft. lbs.).
- Install the (special tool #10276, Tool, Crankshaft Timing Locking) (1) with three bolts (3) tightened to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.) and one bolt (2) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).NOTE:
If the bolt (2) does not align with the lower timing belt cover mounting boss, the camshaft timing is not correct. Loosen the tensioner lock nut and the camshaft sprocket bolt and repeat this procedure.
- Remove the (special tool #10277, Tool, Camshaft Timing Locking) and the (special tool #10276, Tool, Crankshaft Timing Locking).
- Install the lower timing belt cover (1) with bolt (2) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- Install the right engine mount bracket. Refer to BRACKET, ENGINE MOUNT, RIGHT, INSTALLATION .
- Install the vibration damper. Refer to DAMPER, VIBRATION, INSTALLATION .
- Install the rear engine mount insulator. Refer to INSULATOR, ENGINE MOUNT, REAR, INSTALLATION .
- Install the belly pan. Refer to BELLY PAN, INSTALLATION .
- Install the vacuum pump. Refer to PUMP, VACUUM, INSTALLATION .
- Install the air cleaner body. Refer to BODY, AIR CLEANER, INSTALLATION .
- Connect the battery negative cable and tighten nut to 5 N.m (45 in. lbs.).
- Start and run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Check cooling system for correct fluid level. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
NOTE:
The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn procedure must be performed using the scan tool anytime there has been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors or components. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
