ALIGN THE
TIMING MARK
1. Align the camshaft timing mark with the timing mark
on the cylinder head.
2. Align the crankshaft timing mark with the timing
mark
on the front case.
3. Keeping the tension side
of the timing belt tight, fit the
timing belt onto the crankshaft sprocket, camshaft
sprocket, and tensioner pulley in that order.
4. Loosen the tensioner pulley mounting bolts by
1/4 to
112 of a turn and allow the tensioner spring to apply
tension to the timing belt.
5. Tum the crankshaft twice in the normal rotating
direction (clockwise) and check that the timing marks
are
con·ectly aligned.
A CAUTION: This procedure utilizes the
camshaft's driving torque to apply tension evenly
to the timing belt. Be sure to turn the crankshaft
as described above. Do not turn the crankshaft in
reverse.
6. Tighten the tensioner pulley mounting bolts.
