Timing Belt Installation

  1. If tension adjuster was removed or replaced, use a press to push adjuster rod down far enough to install a stopper pin. See Figure. Push tensioner adjuster rod vertically. DO NOT  let press pressu re exceed 2205 Lbs. (1000 kg). Gradually press tensioner rod into tensioner body. This may take 3 minutes or longer.
  2. Ensure timing marks in camshaft and crankshaft sprockets align with marks on rear timing belt covers and oil pump. See Figure. While aligning marks on timing belt with marks on sprockets, position timing belt properly. Ensure belt rotating direction is correct. Install idler pulleys. Loosen tension adjuster attaching bolts and move adjuster fully left.
  3. Tighten tensioner bolts. Once all timing marks are aligned, remove stopper pin from tension adjuster. Install front timing belt covers. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten all nuts and bolts to specifications. See the TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table in the appropriate ENGINE article in the ENGINES section.
