Timing belt

Hi there,

This cover must be fitted first. and before the pulley is installed. It locates on dowels and should not be a problem to locate.

This guide will help toward the bottom,

Hi there,

This will be an alignment problem with the belt pulleys, check all bearings are OK, check mounting for tensioner pulley and idler pulley if fitted, check crank pulley is seated fully back, a new belt will have to be fitted when this is sorted as the old belt is damaged, start here.

Hi PUGMAN2828,

Did you get the markings correct? Note the crank pulley key mark. If you are not sure, remove the one sat spark plug and use a long screwdriver to manually test the TDC position and note the marking.

See pic for details

Take note that the links would not match up after you turn the engine. It would only match up again after many turns but I don't have the data how many turn it should be.

Service and Repair

REMOVAL

1.Remove the crankshaft pulley, coolant pump pulley and drive belt.

2.Remove the timing belt cover.

3.Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley.

4.Remove the timing belt. NOTE: If the timing belt is reused, make an arrow indicating the turning direction (or the front of the engine) to make sure that the belt is reinstalled in the same direction as before.
5.Remove the idler pulley.

6.Remove the camshaft sprocket. NOTE: Be careful not to damage the cylinder head with the wrench.
7.Remove the crankshaft sprocket from crankshaft.

INSTALLATION

1.Install damper pulley flange and crankshaft sprocket as shown. Pay close attention to their mounting direction.
2.Install the camshaft sprocket and tighten the bolt, to the specified torque. Tightening torque: Camshaft sprocket bolt: 100-120 Nm (1000-1200 kg.cm, 74-89 ft. lbs.)

3.Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket with the No. 1 piston placed at top dead center and its compression stroke.
4.Install the timing belt tensioner and idler pulley.
5.Install the timing belt on the camshaft
6.Install the timing belt on the crankshaft. When the timing belt is installed on the camshaft sprocket, make sure that the tension side is tighten the timing belt tensioner pulley pushing toward the water pump.

7.Turn the crankshaft one turn in operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark. CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft should be turned smoothly. Tightening torque: Tensioner pulley installing bolt: 43-55 Nm (430-550 kg.cm, 32-41 ft. lbs.)

8.Then recheck the belt tension. The tension side of timing belt is pushed in horizontally with a moderate force [approx. 2 kg (20 N, 5 lbs.)] , the timing belt cog end is approx. 4-6mm (0.16-0.24 inch) away.
9.Install the timing belt cover. Tightening torque Timing belt cover bolt: 8-10 Nm (80-100 kg.cm, 6-7.4 ft. lbs.)

10.Install the crankshaft pulley. In this case, make sure that the crankshaft sprocket pin fits the small hole in the pulley. Tightening torque: Crankshaft pulley bolt: 170-180 Nm (1700-1800 kg.cm, 125-133 ft. lbs.)
11.Install the coolant pump pulley.
12.Install the drive belt and adjust the belt tension.
