Tools used to remove the timing belt
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery from ground.
2. Remove the upper radiator shroud and all drive belts.
3. Remove the fan.
4. Remove the pulleys from the coolant pump and crankshaft, remove both belt covers.
5. Set the piston of the 1st cylinder to TDC of the compression stroke. From this point on, rotation of the crankshaft is not allowed. Mark the direction of rotation on the belt.
6. Loosen the tensioner and remove the belt, preventing the crankshaft and camshaft from rotating.
7. Remove the tensioner, crankshaft sprocket and flange.
8. Remove the small toothed belt, marking the direction of rotation.
9. Check the condition of the belt, replace it if any defects are found.
Installation
1. Pit; 2. Notch on the sprocket; 3. Notch on the flange; 4. Markings on the body; 5. Mark on the cylinder head
1. Align the marks on the sprockets, block and cylinder head and fit the small belt so that the top of the belt is taut.
2. Install the tensioner in the correct orientation.
3. Move the roller up and tighten belt B so that the deflection at the top is 6 mm.
4. While holding the roller firmly, tighten the tensioner bolt to 20 N·m.
5. Install the sprocket and flange onto the crankshaft.
6. Install the large belt tensioner, resting the spring against the cooling pump, tighten the bolts. Align the marks on all sprockets and on the engine body parts.
7. Make sure the left roller is in the correct position.
Attention! When aligning the marks, the left balance shaft may be in any position.
9. After aligning the marks on the oil pump sprocket and on the housing, adjust the balance shaft. To do this, remove the plug near the starter and insert a rod with a diameter of 8 mm. If the rod goes in by 25 mm, then turn the oil pump by 1 revolution and check the alignment of the balance shaft marks.
10. Check the alignment of the timing marks again and loosen the tensioner bolt.
11. Remove the rod and turn the crankshaft clockwise so that the camshaft sprocket moves by 2 teeth.
12. Tighten the lower bolt and then the upper bolt.
13. Check the belt tension. The deflection in the middle between the oil pump and the crankshaft should be no more than 13 mm.
14. Install all removed parts.
