•  Be sure to slowly move the adjuster rod down applying a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb).
  Press-in the push adjuster rod gradually tak­ing more than three minutes.
  Do not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807 N (1,000 kgf, 2,205 lb).

CAUTION:
• Intake and exhaust camshafts for this DOHC engine can be independently rotated with tim­ing belts removed. As can be seen from the figure, if intake and exhaust valves are lifted simultaneously, their heads will interfere with each other, resulting in bent valves.
timing belt is to be installed at as small an angle as possible, in order to prevent mutual interference of intake and exhaust valve heads. • Do not allow camshafts to rotate in the direc­tion shown in the figure as this causes both intake and exhaust valves to lift simultaneously, resulting in interference with their heads.

(A)     Intake camshaft
(B)     Exhaust camshaft
  When timing belts are not installed, four camshafts are held at the "zero-lift" position, where all cams on camshafts do not push intake and exhaust valves down. (Under this condition, all valves remain unlifted.)
  When camshafts are rotated to install timing belts, #2 intake and #4 exhaust cam of left-hand camshafts are held to push their correspond­ing valves down. (Under this condition, these valves are held lifted.) Right-side camshafts are held so that their cams do not push valves down.
  Left-hand camshafts must be rotated from the "zero-lift" position to the position where

Align alignment mark on timing belt with marks on sprockets in the alphabetical order shown in figure. While aligning marks, position timing belt properly.
CAUTION:
  Disengagement of more than three timing belt teeth may result in interference between the valve and piston.
  Ensure belt's rotating direction is correct.

1)  Check timing belt teeth for breaks, cracks, and wear. If any fault is found, replace belt.
2)  Check the condition of back side of belt; if any crack is found, replace belt.
CAUTION:
  Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact the belt. Remove quickly and thor­oughly if this happens.
  Do not bend the belt sharply.

ADJUSTER S183099A1002
1)  Visually check oil seals for leaks, and rod ends for abnormal wear or scratches. If necessary, replace automatic belt tension adjuster assembly.
CAUTION:
Slight traces of oil at rod's oil seal does not
indicate a problem.
2)  Check that the adjuster rod does not move when a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) is applied to it. This is to check adjuster rod stiffness.
3)   If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves freely when applying 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb), check it using the following procedures:
(1)  Slowly press the adjuster rod down to the end surface of the cylinder. Repeat this motion 2 or 3 times.
(2)  With the adjuster rod moved all the way up, apply a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) to it. Check adjuster rod stiffness.
(3)   If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves down, replace the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly with a new one.
CAUTION:
  Always use a vertical type pressing tool to move the adjuster rod down.
  Do not use a lateral type vise.
  Push adjuster rod vertically.
  Press-in the push adjuster rod gradually tak­ing more than three minutes.
  Do not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807 N (1,000 kgf, 2,205 lb).
  Press the adjuster rod as far as the end sur­face of the cylinder. Do not press the adjuster rod into the cylinder. Doing so may damage the cylinder.
4)   Measure the extension of rod beyond the body. If it is not within specifications, replace with a new one.

3. BELT TENSION PULLEY
S183099A1003
1)  Check mating surfaces of timing belt and con­tact point of adjuster rod for abnormal wear or scratches. Replace belt tension pulley if faulty.
2)  Check belt tension pulley for smooth rotation. Replace if noise or excessive play is noted.
3)  Check belt tension pulley for grease leakage.
4. BELT IDLER
S183099A1004
1)  Check idler for smooth rotation. Replace if noise or excessive play is noted.
2)  Check outer contacting surfaces of idler pulley for abnormal wear and scratches.
3)  Check idler for grease leakage.
