Timing System - 2.0L: Other Kia Sportage II

TIMING BELT

1. Check the belt for oil or dust deposits. Replace, if necessary. Small deposits should be wiped away with a dry cloth or paper. Do not clean with solvent.
2. When the engine is overhauled or belt tension adjusted, check the carefully. If any damage is found, replace the belt. NOTE: Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out. Do not allow timing belt to come into contact with oil, water and steam.

1. Install the camshaft sprocket and tighten the bolt to the specified torque. Temporarily install the camshaft sprocket bolt (C). Hold the portion (A) of the camshaft with a hexagonal wrench, and tighten the bolt (C) with a wrench (B). Tightening torque: 98.1 ~ 117.7N.m (10 ~ 12kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.8lb-ft)
2. Install the cylinder head cover. Install the cylinder head cover (A) and bolts (B). Tightening torque: 7.8 ~ 9.8N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2lb-ft) Install the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) hose (A) and breather hose (B) to the cylinder head cover. Install the accelerator cable (A) to the cylinder head cover. Install the spark plug cables.
3. Install the crankshaft sprocket (A).
4. Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket (A) and crankshaft sprocket (B) with the No.1 piston placed at top dead center and its compression stroke.
5. Install the idler pulley (A) and tighten the bolt (B) to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 42.2 ~ 53.9N.m (4.3 ~ 5.5kgf.m, 31.1 ~ 39.8lb-ft)
6. Temporarily install the timing belt tensioner (A) with plain washer (B).
7. Install the belt so as not give slack at each center of shaft. Use the following order when installing timing belt. Crankshaft sprocket (A) -->idler pulley (B) -->camshaft sprocket (C) -->timing belt tensioner (D).
8. Temporarily install tensioner pulley using center bolt to add tension force to the belt.
9. Adjust the timing belt tension. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise (view from front) through angle equivalent to two teeth (18°) of camshaft sprocket (A). Using a hex-wrench, apply tension to the timing belt in the counterclockwise direction so that there is no slack in the belt on the tension side. Tighten the tensioner bolt. Tightening torque: 42.2 ~ 53.9N.m (4.3 ~ 5.5kgf.m, 31.1 ~ 39.8lb-ft) Recheck the belt tension. When the tension side of timing belt is pushed horizontally with a moderate force [approx. 2kg (20N, 5lb)], the timing belt cog end deflects approx. 4 ~ 6mm (0.16 ~ 0.24in).
10. Turn the crankshaft two turns in the operating direction (Clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket timing mark.
11. Install the timing belt lower cover (A) with 5 bolts (B). Tightening torque: 7.8 ~ 9.8N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2lb-ft)
12. Install the flange and crankshaft pulley (A), and then tighten crankshaft pulley bolt (B). Make sure that the crankshaft sprocket pin fits into the small hole in the pulley. Tightening torque: 166.7 ~ 176.5N.m (17 ~ 18kgf.m, 123.0 ~ 130.2lb-ft)
13. Install the timing belt upper cover (A) with bolts (B). Tightening torque: 7.8 ~ 9.8N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2lb-ft)
14. Install the water pump pulley and 4 bolts.
15. Install the power steering pump drive belt. ( «CHECKING POWER STEERING BELT TENSION»(ref-226863-S32223362932006032900000) )
16. Install the air conditioner compressor drive belt. (See «DRIVE BELT»(ref-235431-S32236435202006062100000) )
17. Install the alternator drive belt. (See «CHARGING SYSTEM»(ref-226828) )
18. Tighten the bolts of water pump pulley.
19. Install the engine mounting support bracket. Install the engine mounting support bracket stay plate (A) with bolt (B). Tightening torque: 42.2 ~ 53.9N.m (4.3 ~ 5.5kgf.m, 31.1 ~ 39.8lb-ft) Install the engine mounting support bracket (A) with nuts (C, D) and bolt (B). Tightening torque: Nut (D): 58.8 ~ 78.5N.m (6.0 ~ 8.0kgf.m, 43.4 ~ 57.9lb-ft) Nut (C) and bolt (B): 49.0 ~ 63.7N.m (5.0 ~ 6.5kgf.m, 36.2 ~ 47.0lb-ft)
20. Install the RH side cover (A) with 2 bolts (B).
21. Install the RH front wheel. Tightening torque: 88.3 ~ 98.1N.m (9.0 ~ 10.0kgf.m, 65.1 ~ 72.3lb-ft)
22. Install the engine cover with bolts. Tightening torque: 3.9 ~ 5.9N.m (0.4 ~ 0.6kgf.m, 2.9 ~ 4.3lb-ft)
