Timing Belt: Reassembly

  1. Install damper pulley flange and crankshaft sprocket as shown. Pay close attention to their mounting direction.

    Tightening Torque

    1. Camshaft sprocket bolt: 170-180 N.m (1700-1800 kg.cm, 125-133 Ib.ft)

  2. Install the camshaft sprocket and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.

    Tightening torque

    1. Camshaft sprocket bolt: 100-120 N.m (1000-1200 kg.cm, 74-89 Ib.ft)
  3. Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket with the No. 1 piston placed at top dead center and its compression stroke.
  4. Install the timing belt tensioner and idler pulley.
  5. Install the timing belt on the camshaft.
    NOTE: When the timing belt is installed on the camshaft sprocket, make sure that the tension side is tightened by pushing the timing belt tensioner pulley toward the water pump.

  6. Turn the crankshaft one turn in the operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark.
    CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft should be turned smoothly.

    Tightening torque

    1. Tensioner and idler pulley installing bolt: 43-55 N.m (430-550 kg.cm, 32-41 Ib.ft)
  7. Recheck the belt tension. When the tension side of timing belt is pushed horizontally with a moderate force [approx. 2kg (20N, 5Ib)], the timing belt cog end sags in approx. 4-6 mm (0.16-0.24 in.)

  8. Install the timing belt cover.

    Tightening torque

    1. Timing belt cover bolt: 8-10 N.m (80-100 kg.cm, 6-7 Ib.ft)

  9. Install the crankshaft pulley. Make sure that the crankshaft sprocket pin fits the small hole in the pulley.
  10. Install the coolant pump pulley.
  11. Install the drive belt and adjust the belt tension.
