Remove the timing belt.15.
Installation and Initial Adjustment Procedure
Notice: When installing a new or used timing belt, the directional arrows on the timing belt must be matched with the
rotation of the crankshaft. If this precaution is not observed, excessive wear and timing belt failure may occur.
Important:
Guide marks are printed on the timing belt to aid in installation. If these marks are not identifiable, install a new belt.
Arrows are printed on the timing belt indicating the required direction of travel. When installing the timing belt, ensure
the arrows are traveling in engine rotational direction, clockwise.
Install the timing belt with the engine at room temperature.
Do not crimp or bind the timing belt when handling or installing.
Inspect the timing belt. Refer to Timing Belt Inspection.1.
