REASSEMBLY
Install the flange and crankshaft sprocket as shown. Pay close attention to their mounting directions.
TORQUE SPECIFICATION
Crankshaft sprocket bolt 150-160 Nm 1500-1600 kg·cm 110-118 lb·ft
Install the camshaft sprocket and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
TORQUE SPECIFICATION
Camshaft sprocket bolt 80-100 Nm 800-1000 kg·cm 59-72.8 lb·ft
Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket, with the No.1 piston placed at top dead center on its compression stroke.
To install the timing belt tensioner, first mount the tensioner, spring, and spacer. Temporarily tighten the bolts. Next, temporarily tighten the tensioner long hole side washer and bolts. Install the bottom end of the spring against the front case as shown in the illustration.
Secure the tensioner, positioned towards the water pump.
Install the timing belt on the crankshaft sprocket.
Install the timing belt on the camshaft sprocket. When the timing belt is installed on the camshaft sprocket, make sure that the tension side is tight. Then, check to ensure that when the tension side is tightened by turning the camshaft sprocket in a reverse direction, all timing marks are in line.
Loosen the tensioner mounting bolts 1 and 2 in that order as shown. This will apply spring tension to the timing belt only. Check the belt to ensure that it is not out of position.
Tighten the tensioner tightening bolts 1 and 2 in that order. If the bolt 1 is tightened first, the tensioner will move with the belt in the direction that the belt is tightened.
Give the crankshaft one turn in operating direction (clock-wise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark with the top dead center position.
CAUTION
Do not turn the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft should turn smoothly.
Loosen the tensioner attaching bolt 1 and 2 in that order.
Tighten the tensioner attaching bolts 2 and 1 in that order to the specified torque.
TORQUE SPECIFICATION
Tensioner attaching bolt 20-27 Nm 200-270 kg·cm 14-20 lb·ft
Then recheck the belt tension. Verify that when the tensioner and the tension side of the timing belt are pushed in horizontally with a moderate force [approx. 49N (11lb)], the timing belt cog end is aprox. half of the tensioner mounting bolt head radius (across flats) away from the bolt head center.
Install the timing belt cover.
TORQUE SPECIFICATION
Timing belt cover bolt 10-12 Nm 100-120 kg·cm 7.2-8.7 lb·ft
Install the crankshaft pulley. In the case, make sure that the crankshaft sprocket pin fit the small hole in the pulley.
Install the fan belt and adjust the belt tension.
Install the water pump pulley.
Install V-belt and adjust the belt tension.

Adjustment
Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Procedure
The timing belt has an automatic tension adjusting mechanism.
Adjustment can be made as follows:
Turn the steering wheel fully counterclockwise.
Apply a wood block under the engine oil pan and carefully raise the engine.
CAUTION
Jack up only slightly to prevent engine damage.
Remove the engine left mount bracket.
Remove the water pump pulley.
Remove the crankshaft pulley.
Remove the timing belt upper cover.
Check the belt for cracking, peeling or other damage. Be sure to carefully check the entire length of the belt.
Rotate the crankshaft so that the No. 1 piston is at top dead center of the compression stroke. In other words, align the timing mark on the camshaft sprocket with that on the cylinder head. Note that the crankshaft should be turned clockwise, not counterclockwise. Turning the crankshaft counterclockwise will cause the tension to become improperly adjusted.
Remove the timing belt lower cover.
Loosen the tensioner mounting bolts 1 and 2 in that order as shown to give the timing belt spring tension.
Check the belt to ensure that it is not out of position.
Tighten the tensioner attaching bolts 2 and 1 in that order as shown. If the bolt 1 is tightened first, the tensioner will move with the bolt and cause the belt to become overtightened.
Give the crankshaft one turn in operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark with the top dead center position.
CAUTION
Do not turn the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction.
Loosen the tensioner attaching bolts 1 and 2 in that order as shown.
Retighten the tensioner attaching bolts 2 and 1 in that order as shown to the specified torque.
TORQUE SPECIFICATION
Torque 20-27 Nm 200-270 kg·cm 14-20 lb·ft
Recheck the belt tension. When the tensioner and the tension side of the timing belt are pushed in horizontally with a moderate force (approx. 49 N [1 lb]), the timing belt cog end is approx. half of the tensioner mounting bolt head radius (across flats) away from the bolt head center.
