ASSEMBLY — Timing Belt Installation
B2-109prose procedureK8-ZE V6 — timing belt routing across crankshaft, two idler pulleys, tensioner, and both camshaft pulleys.
Timing Belt (continued)
- 2Install the timing belt on the pulleys in the order described below: (1) Timing belt pulley, (2) No.2 idler pulley, (3) LH camshaft pulley, (4) Tensioner pulley, (5) RH camshaft pulley.

- 3Verify that the belt has no looseness at the tension side.
- 4Install the No.1 idler pulley while applying the pressure on the timing belt.Tightening torque: 38—51 N·m {3.8—5.3 kgf·m, 28—38 ft·lbf}

- 5Push the auto tensioner in the direction of the arrow and install the lower bolt.

- 6Tighten the upper and lower tensioner bolts to the specified torque.Tightening torque: 19—25 N·m {1.9—2.6 kgf·m, 14—18 ft·lbf}
- 7Remove the pin from the auto tensioner, and apply tension to the belt.

- 8Tighten the tensioner pulley.Tightening torque: 38—44 N·m {3.8—4.5 kgf·m, 28—32 ft·lbf}
- 9Turn the crankshaft clockwise twice in the direction of rotation, and align the timing marks.

- 10Verify that the timing marks are correctly aligned. If not, repeat the procedure from "Timing Belt Auto Tensioner". (Refer to page B2-108.)
