Timing belt

Installation:
Ensure crankshaft and camshaft pulleys are still aligned. See Fig. 3. Install timing belt so that there is no looseness at tension side, and at camshaft pulleys. If reusing old belt, ensure belt is installed in original direction of rotation. Loosen tensioner pulley bolt.
Turn crankshaft 2 revolutions in normal direction of rotation. Check that timing marks are correctly aligned. If timing marks are not correctly aligned, remove belt and realign. After realigning belt, repeat rotation prodecure.
Turn crankshaft to align "S" mark of exhaust camshaft pulley with rear cover seal plate mating mark. Tighten tensioner pulley bolt.
Check that belt deflection is.30-.33" (7.5-8.5 mm) with 22 lbs. (10 kg) of downward pressure on belt, midway between two camshaft pulleys.
Install timing belt guide plate with flat side toward belt. Install timing belt covers.
To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Adjust drive belts to proper tension.
