Timing Belt Removal
1. Remove the 3 timing belt cover clips
(Figure 5-157, (1)) and 2 clamps

2. Remove the 3 bolts (Figure 5-157, (3)), 3 seal

3. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise
(Figure 5-158, (1)) to align the timing marks of
camshaft timing pulleys No. 1 and No. 2 with
the BDC mark. NOTICE: If the timing belt is
disconnected and the crankshaft pulley is
rotated, engine damage will result from the
piston head and intake/exhaust valve heads
contacting. NEVER turn the crankshaft with the
timing belt disconnected and always make sure
to set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle
when installing the belt.

To remove the timing belt when the timing belt is
reused:
• Draw an arrow mark (Figure 5-159, (1)) on the
timing belt, indicating the operation direction
(engine revolution direction) and then match
marks (Figure 5-159, (2)) both on the timing
pulley and timing belt.
