2. How to check tension (While auto tensioner is operating: and fixing pin being uninstalled.)
a. After rotating crankshaft 2 revolutions clockwise to position No. 1 cylinder at TDC, wait for about
5 minutes, and measure the amount of protruding of the auto tensioner rod.
b. Check if the amount of rod protruding is in the range of 3.8~4.5mm.
CAUTION: This is "leak down" time for the auto tensioner rod to protrude
1mm when tension caused by rotation of the crankshaft has
changed.
