TIMING BELT REMOVAL
(1) Mark belt running direction for reinstallation.
NOTE
(1) Water or oil on the belt shorten its life drastically,
so the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner
must be free from oil and water. These parts should
not be washed. Replace parts if seriously
contaminated.
(2) If there is oil or water on each part, check front case
oil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for leaks.

TIMING BELT REMOVAL
(1) If the timing belt is to be reused, chalk an arrow mark
on the back surface of the belt so that the belt can be
reinstalled in the same direction.
(2) Place the exhaust camshaft sprocket in a position where
the timing mark for No. 1 cylinder is positioned about
one tooth before the top dead center of the compression
stroke.
Caution

The camshaft sprocket on the exhaust side can
turn very easily because of the valve spring
tension. Use care not to allow your fingers to get
caught by the sprocket.
