REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
AA" TIMING BELT REMOVAL
When the timing belt is to be reused, in order to allow
re-installation of the belt so that it travels in the same direction
as before it was removed, mark the direction of travel with
an arrow before removing it.
Caution
(1) As water or oil on the belt can seriously reduce its
usable life, ensure that the timing belt, sprocket, and
tensioner stay clean and dry while removed, and never
wash them. Parts that have become too dirty should
be replaced.
(2) When any of the parts are oily, check to see whether
there are any oil leaks in any of the oil seals or the
camshaft oil seal on the front of the engine.
AB" TIMING BELT REMOVAL
1. Turn the crankshaft to bring the piston in No. 1 cylinder
to its TDC on the compression stroke.
2. If reusing the timing belt, use a chalk to draw an arrow
on back of the timing belt to indicate rotation direction.
NOTE
(1) Water or oil on the belt shortens its life drastically,
so the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner
must be kept free from oil and water. Do not immerse
parts in cleaning solvent.
(2) If there is oil or water on any part, check the front
case oil seal, camshaft oil seal and water pump for
leaks.
AC" CAM POSITION SENSING CYLINDER REMOVAL
With the camshaft sprocket locked in position using the special
tool, remove the cam position sensing cylinder.
