  1. Preparation for installation of automatic belt tension adjuster assembly. CAUTION: Always use a vertical type pressing tool to move the adjuster rod down. Do not use a lateral type vise. Push the adjuster rod vertically. Press-in the push adjuster rod gradually taking more than three minutes. Do not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807 N (1,000 kgf, 2,205 lbf). Press the adjuster rod as far as the end surface of the cylinder. Do not press the adjuster rod into cylinder. Doing so may damage the cylinder. Do not release the press pressure until stopper pin is completely inserted. Attach the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly to vertical pressing tool. Slowly move the adjuster rod down with a pressure of more than 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) until the adjuster rod is aligned with the stopper pin hole in the cylinder. see scheme 85: Pressing Adjuster Rod With a 2 mm (0.08 in) dia. stopper pin or a 2 mm (0.08 in) (nominal) dia. hex bar wrench inserted into the stopper pin hole in the cylinder, secure the adjuster rod. see scheme 86: Identifying Stopper Pin Inserted Into Stopper Pin Hole

  2. Crankshaft and camshaft sprocket alignment Align the mark (A) on crank sprocket with the mark on oil pump cover at cylinder block. see scheme 90: Aligning Mark On Crank Sprocket With Mark On Oil Pump Cover Cylinder Block Align single line mark (A) on the exhaust cam sprocket (RH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover. see scheme 91: Aligning Single Line Mark On Exhaust Cam Sprocket Align single line mark (A) on the intake cam sprocket (RH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover. (Ensure double lines (C) on intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets are aligned.) see scheme 92: Aligning Single Line Mark On Intake Cam Sprocket Align the single line mark (A) on exhaust cam sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover by turning the sprocket counterclockwise (as viewed from front of engine). (Scheme 324): Aligning Single Line Mark On Exhaust Cam Sprocket Align the single line mark (A) on intake cam sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover by turning the sprocket clockwise (as viewed from front of engine). (Make sure the double line marks (C) on intake and exhaust cam sprockets are aligned.) (Scheme 325): Aligning Single Line Mark On Intake Cam Sprocket Make sure that the cam and crank sprockets are positioned properly. CAUTION: Intake and exhaust camshafts for this DOHC engine can be independently rotated with the timing belts removed. As can be seen from the figure, if the intake and exhaust valves are lifted simultaneously, the valve heads will interfere with each other, resulting in bent valves. (Scheme 326): Identifying Intake And Exhaust Camshaft When the timing belts are not installed, four camshafts are held at the "zero-lift" position, where all cams on camshafts do not push the intake and exhaust valves down. (Under this condition, all valves remain unlifted.) When the camshafts are rotated to install the timing belts, #2 intake and #4 exhaust cam of camshafts (LH) are held to push their corresponding valves down. (Under this condition, these valves are held lifted.) Right-side camshafts are held so that their cams do not push valves down. Camshafts (LH) must be rotated from the "zero-lift" position to the position where the timing belt is to be installed with the smallest possible angle, in order to prevent mutual interference of intake and exhaust valve heads. Do not allow the camshafts to rotate in the direction shown in the figure of upper one. Doing this cause both the intake and exhaust valves to lift simultaneously, resulting in interference with their heads. (Scheme 327): Identifying Timing Belt Installation Position With Rotating Direction
  3. Installation of timing belt: Align the alignment mark on the timing belt with marks on the sprockets in the alphabetical order shown in the figure. While aligning marks, position the timing belt properly. CAUTION: Disengagement of more than three timing belt teeth may result in interference between the valve and piston. Make sure the belt's rotating direction is correct. (Scheme 328): Identifying Arrow Mark, Timing Belt And Tooth Length
  4. Install the belt idlers. Tightening torque: 39 N.m (4.0 kgf-m, 28.9 ft-lb) NOTE: Make sure that the marks on the timing belt and sprockets are aligned. (Scheme 329): Identifying Belt Idler
  5. After ensuring that the marks on the timing belt and sprockets are aligned, remove the stopper pin from tensioner adjuster.
  6. Install the timing belt guide. (MT model) Temporarily tighten the bolts. Check and adjust the clearance between timing belt and timing belt guide. Clearance: 1.0±0.5 mm (0.039 ± 0.020 in) (Scheme 330): Identifying Clearance Between Timing Belt And Timing Belt Guide (1 Of 4) (Scheme 331): Identifying Clearance Between Timing Belt And Timing Belt Guide (2 Of 4) (Scheme 332): Identifying Clearance Between Timing Belt And Timing Belt Guide (3 Of 4) (Scheme 333): Identifying Clearance Between Timing Belt And Timing Belt Guide (4 Of 4) Tighten the bolt. Tightening torque: 10 N.m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft-lb) (Scheme 334): Locating Timing Belt Guide Bolts (1 Of 4) Tightening torque: 6.4 N.m (0.65 kgf-m, 4.7 ft-lb) (Scheme 335): Locating Timing Belt Guide Bolt (2 Of 4) Tightening torque: 6.4 N.m (0.65 kgf-m, 4.7 ft-lb) (Scheme 336): Locating Timing Belt Guide Bolt (3 Of 4) Tightening torque: 6.4 N.m (0.65 kgf-m, 4.7 ft-lb) (Scheme 337): Locating Timing Belt Guide Bolt (4 Of 4)

  3. Measure the outside diameter of camshaft journal. If the journal diameter is not at specified, check the oil clearance. DIAMETER OF CAMSHAFT JOURNAL Camshaft journal Front Center, rear Standard 37.946 - 37.963 mm (1.4939 -1.4946 in) 29.946 - 29.963 mm (1.1790 -1.1796 in)
  4. Measurement of the camshaft journal oil clearance: Clean the bearing caps and camshaft journals. Place the camshafts on cylinder head. (Without installing the valve lifter) Place a plastigauge across each camshaft journals. Gradually tighten the cap in at least two stages in alphabetical sequence shown in the figure, and then tighten to specified torque. Do not turn the camshaft. Tightening torque: T1: 10 N.m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft-lb) T2: 20 N.m (2.0 kgf-m, 14.5 ft-lb) (Scheme 353): Identifying Camshaft Bearing Caps Bolts Tightening Sequence Remove the bearing caps. Measure the widest point of the plastigauge on each journal. If the oil clearance exceeds the limit, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace the camshaft caps and cylinder head as a set. Standard: 0.037 - 0.072 mm (0.0015 - 0.0028 in) Service limit: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in) (Scheme 354): Measuring Widest Point Of Plastigauge Completely remove the plastigauge.
