TIMING BELT REMOVAL

DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
CAUTION:

To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the reservoir cap while the engine and radiator assembly are still hot. Thermal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator assembly.
1. Loosen the radiator drain plug.
2. Remove the reservoir cap.
3. Loosen the cylinder block drain plug and drain the coolant.
4. Tighten the radiator drain plug.
5. Tighten the cylinder block drain plug.

SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/ COMPRESSION
1. Using the crankshaft pulley bolt, align its groove with the timing pointer by turning the crankshaft clockwise.
2. 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Loosen the timing belt idler No.1 bolt (A), and shift the idler to the left as far as possible.
4. Temporarily tighten the pulley bolt (A), and then relieve the timing belt tension.
5. Remove the timing belt.
