19. | Remove camshaft sprocket.
(1) | Hold the hexagonal head wrench(A) portion of the camshaft with a wrench(B), and remove the bolt and camshaft sprocket(C).
Be careful not to damage the cylinder head and valve lifter with the wrench.
INSTALLATION
1. | Install the camshaft sprocket and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
(1) | Temporarily install the camshaft sprocket bolt.
(2) | Hold the hexagonal head wrench(A) portion of the camshaft with a wrench(B), and tighten the camshaft sprocket(C) bolt.
Tightening torque Camshaft sprocket bolt 100 ~ 120Nm (1000 ~ 1200kgf.cm, 74 ~ 89lbf.ft)
2. | Install cylinder head cover.
(1) | Install cylinder head cover(A) and 12bolts(B).
(2) | Install the PCV hose(A) and breather hose(B).
(3) | Install the accelerator cable(A) from the cylinder head cover.
(4) | Install the spark plug cable.
3. | Install the crankshaft sprocket(A).
4. | Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket(A) and crankshaft sprocket(B) with the No.1 piston placed at top dead center and its compression stroke.
5. | Install the idler pulley(A) and tighten the bolt(B) to the specified torque.
Tightening torque Idler pulley bolt 43 ~ 55Nm (430 ~ 550kgf.m, 32 ~ 40lbf.ft)
6. | Temporarily install the timing belt tensioner(A) with plain washer(B).
7. | Install the timing belt so as not to give excessive slack at the center of the belt. Install the timing belt with the following procedure. Crankshaft sprocket (A) → Idler pulley (B) → Camshaft sprocket (C) → timing belt tensioner (D).
8. | Temporarily fasten tensioner pulley by center bolt to add force at belt.
9. | Timing belt tension adjusting
(1) | Rotate crankshaft in regular direction (clock wise view from front) through angle equivalant to two teeth (18°) of camshaft sprocket(A).
(2) | Give tension to timing belt by rotating tensioner in direction of the arrow with tool and set timing belt not to give slack to tension side.
(3) | Tightening tensioner bolt.
Tightening torque Tensioner bolt 22.6 ~ 28.4Nm (230 ~ 290kgf.cm, 16.6 ~ 21.0lbf.ft)
(4) | Recheck the belt tension. When the tension side of timing belt is pushed horizontally with a moderate force [approx. 2kg (20N, 5lb)], the timing belt cog end sags in approx. 4 ~ 6mm (0.16 ~ 0.24in.)
10. | Turn the crankshaft two turns in the operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket timing mark.
11. | Install the timing belt lower cover(A) with 5 bolts(B).
Tightening torque Timing belt cover bolt 8 ~ 10Nm (80 ~100kg.cm, 6 ~ 7lbf.ft)
12. | Install the flange and crankshaft pulley(A). Make sure that crankshaft sprocket pin fits the small hole in the pulley.
Tightening torque Crankshaft pulley bolt 160 ~ 170Nm (1600 ~ 1700kgf.cm, 120 ~ 125lbf.ft)
13. | Install the timing belt upper cover with 4bolts. (See page EM - 10)
14. | Install the coolant pump pulley with 4bolts.
15. | Install power steering belt. (See ST group - power steering pump)
16. | Install air compressor belt. (See HA group - air comperssor)
17. | Install alternator belt. (See EE group- alternator)
18. | Install the engine mount bracket.
(1) | Install the stay plate(A) with bolt(B).
Tightening torque Stay plate bolt 43 ~ 55Nm (430 ~ 550kgf.cm 32 ~ 40lbf.ft)
(2) | Install engine mount bracket(A) with 3nuts and bolt.
Tightening torque Bolt(B), Nuts(C) 50 ~ 60Nm (500 ~ 600kgf.ft, 37 ~ 48lbf.ft) Nut(D) : 60 ~ 80Nm (600 ~ 800kgf.m 44 ~ 59lbf.ft)
19. | Install RH side cover(A) with 2bolts(B).
20. | Install RH front wheel.
21. | Install engine cover with 4bolts. (See page EM - 10)
INSPECTION
SPOCKETS, TENSIONER, IDLER
1. | Check the camshaft sprocket, crankshaft sprocket, tensioner pulley, and idler pulley for abnormal wear, cracks, or damage. Replace as necessary.
2. | Inspect the tensioner pulley and the idler pulley for easy and smooth rotation and check for play or noise. Replace as necessary.
3. | Replace the pulley if there is a grease leak from its bearing.
TIMING BELT
1. | Check the belt for oil or dust deposits. Replace, if necessary. Small deposits should be wiped away with a dry cloth or paper. Do not clean with solvent.
2. | When the engine is overhauled or belt tension adjusted, check the belt carefully. If any of the following flaws are evident, replace the belt.
• | Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.
• | Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact with oil, water and steam.
