<< B >> BALANCER TIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
| CAUTION | When tightening the mounting bolts, ensure that the tensioner does not rotate with the bolts. Allowing it to rotate with the bolts can cause excessive tension of the belt. |

- Lift with your fingers the balancer timing belt tensioner in the direction of the arrow. Apply a tensile torque of [3.0 +/- 0.4 N.m (26 +/- 4 in-lb)] to the balancer timing belt so the belt is tense without any looseness. Tighten the assembling bolt to the specified torque in this state. Then, fix the balancer timing belt tensioner. Tightening torque: 19 +/- 3 N.m (14 +/- 2 ft-lb)
- Turn the crankshaft clockwise two turns to set number 1 cylinder to TDC of its compression stroke and check that sprocket timing marks are aligned.
- Apply a pressure of approximately 100 N (22 pounds) at the center (arrow area) between the sprocket as shown in illustration, then inspect whether the belt deflection is within the standard value. Standard value: < When adjusting > 5 - 7 mm (0.20 - 0.27 inch) < When replacing > 5 - 7 mm (0.20 - 0.27 inch)
- If not within the standard value, adjust the belt tension again.

Scheme 5
- Clean or degrease the crankshaft, the crankshaft angle sensing blade, the crankshaft camshaft drive sprocket and crankshaft pulley washer as shown. NOTE: Also clean the degreased surfaces.
- Install the crankshaft angle sensing blade and crankshaft camshaft drive sprocket in the direction shown.
- Place the larger chamfer side of the crank shaft pulley washer in the direction shown in the Figure, and then assemble on the crank shaft pulley center bolt.
- Apply a small amount of engine oil to the crank shaft pulley center bolt bearing surface and screw.
- Hold the crankshaft camshaft drive sprocket with special tools MB991367 and MB991385 in the same manner as removal.
- Tighten the crankshaft pulley center bolt to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 167 N.m (123 ft-lb)

Scheme 7
- Set according to the following procedures with the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod fully extended. CAUTION: If the rod is compressed too quickly, it may be damaged. Slowly compress the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod using a press or vice, then align set hole A of the rod with set hole B of the timing belt tensioner adjuster cylinder. Insert a wire or pin in the set hole aligned. NOTE: When replacing the timing belt tensioner adjuster with new parts, the timing belt tensioner adjuster is set with a pin.
- Install the timing belt tensioner adjuster to the engine and then tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque. Do not remove the wire or pin until the tension of the valve timing belt is adjusted. Tightening torque: 23 +/- 3 N.m (17 +/- 2 ft-lb)
