Hand tighten only at this time.
Be sure that plate movement in arrow
direction as shown in Fig. 3-6-46 causes the
same directional movement of tensioner.
If no associated movement between plate
and tensioner occurs, remove tensioner and
plate again and reinsert plate lug into tensio-
ner hole.

6) Before installing timing belt to camshaft
pulley and crankshaft timing belt pulley,
loosen all valve adjusting screws of intake
and exhaust rocker arms fully, or check to
ensure they are loose.
This is to permit free rotation of camshaft
for the following reason; when installing
timing belt to both pulleys, belt should be
correctly tensed by tensioner spring force.
If camshaft does not rotate freely, belt will
not be correctly tensed by tensioner.
