TIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
1. After turning the crankshaft 1/4 of a revolution in the
anticlockwise direction, turn it in the clockwise direction
until the timing marks are aligned.
2. Loosen the tension pulley fixing bolt, and then use the
special tool and a torque wrench to tighten the fixing
bolt to the specified torque while applying tension to the
timing belt.
Standard value: 3.5 Nm <Timing belt tension torque>
Caution
When tightening the fixing bolt, make sure that the
tension pulley does not turn with the bolt.
3. Turn the crankshaft two revolutions in the clockwise
direction so that the timing marks are aligned. After leaving
it for 15 minutes, measure the amount of protrusion of
the auto tensioner.
Standard value (A): 3.8 - 4.5 mm
4. If the amount of protrusion is outside the standard value,
repeat the operation in steps (1) to (3).
5. Check again to be sure that the timing marks of each
sprocket are aligned.
