4) Remove the timing belt.  
CAUTION:  
After the timing belt has been removed, never  
rotate the intake and exhaust, camshaft sprocket.  
If the camshaft sprocket is rotated, the intake  
and exhaust valve heads strike together  
and valve stems are bent.  
Remove the automatic belt tension adjuster  
assembly  
1) Remove the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly.  
6
Install the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly and belt  
idler  
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.  
• Be sure to slowly move the adjuster rod down  
applying a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb).  
• 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 lb).  
• Press the adjuster rod as far as the end surface  
of the cylinder. Do not press the adjuster  
rod into the cylinder. Doing so may damage the  
cylinder.  
• Do not release the press pressure until stopper  
pin is completely inserted.  
(1) Attach the automatic belt tension adjuster  
assembly to the vertical pressing tool.  
(2) Slowly move the adjuster rod down with a  
pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) until the adjuster  
rod is aligned with the stopper pin hole in the  
cylinder.  
(3) 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.

4) Install the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly.  
Tightening torque:  
39 N·m (4.0 kgf-m, 28.9 ft-lb)

Install the timing belt  
Crankshaft and camshaft sprocket alignment  
(1) Align mark (A) on the crankshaft sprocket  
with mark on the oil pump cover at cylinder  
block.  
(2) Align single line mark (A) on the right-hand  
exhaust camshaft sprocket with notch (B) on  
belt cover.  
(3) Align single line mark (A) on the right-hand  
intake camshaft sprocket with notch (B) on belt  
cover.  
(Make sure double lines (C) on intake camshaft  
9
and exhaust camshaft sprockets are aligned.)  
(4) Align single line mark (A) on left-hand exhaust  
camshaft sprocket with notch (B) on belt  
cover by turning the sprocket counterclockwise  
(as viewed from front of engine).  
(5) Align single line mark (A) on left-hand intake  
camshaft sprocket with notch (B) on belt cover  
by turning the sprocket clockwise (as viewed  
from front of engine).  
Ensure double lines (C) on intake and exhaust  
camshaft sprockets are aligned.  
(6) Ensure camshaft and crankshaft sprockets  
are positioned properly.  
CAUTION:  
• Intake and exhaust camshafts for this DOHC  
10  
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, their heads will interfere with  
each other, resulting in bent valves.  
(A) Intake camshaft  
(B) 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  
left-hand camshafts 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.  
• Left-hand camshafts must be rotated from  
the “zero-lift” position to the position where the  
timing belt is to be installed at as small an angle  
as possible, 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 as this causes both  
11  
intake and exhaust valves to lift simultaneously,  
resulting in interference with their heads.  
7) 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.  
• Ensure the belt’s rotating direction is correct.

8) Install the belt idlers.  
Tightening torque:  
39 N·m (4.0 kgf-m, 28.9 ft-lb)  
CAUTION:  
Make sure that the marks on the timing belt and  
sprockets are aligned.  
9) After ensuring that the marks on the timing belt  
and sprockets are aligned, remove the stopper pin  
from tensioner adjuster.  
10) Install the timing belt guide. (MT vehicle)  
(1) Temporarily tighten the remaining bolts.  
(2) Check and adjust clearance between the  
timing belt and timing belt guide.  
Clearance:  
1.0 +/- 0.5 mm (0.039 +/- 0.020 in)

Tightening torque:  
127 N·m (13 kgf-m, 94.0 ft-lb)  
7) Confirm that the tightening angle of the crankshaft  
pulley bolt is 45 degrees or more. If not, conduct  
the following procedures (1) through (4).  
16  
CAUTION:  
If the tightening angle of crankshaft pulley bolt  
is less than 45 degrees, the bolt should be damaged.  
In this case, the bolt must be replaced.  
(8) Replace the crankshaft pulley bolts and
