SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION

Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulley and No.2 timing belt cover are aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
REMOVE TIMING BELT
Remove the timing belt.
Tech Tips
If reusing the timing belt, draw a direction arrow on the timing belt (in the direction of engine revolution), and place matchmarks on the pulleys and timing belt.
Turn the crankshaft 90° counterclockwise, and put the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley with the protrusion of the timing gear case.
Note
If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft timing pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulley, causing damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
Loosen the timing belt idler No.1 bolt (A), and shift the idler to the left as far as possible.
Temporarily tighten the pulley bolt (A), and then relieve the timing belt tension.
Remove the timing belt.
