MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

The manufacturer recommends the belt be replaced every 60,000 miles under severe service operating
conditions.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

CAUTION: This application is an interference engine. Do not rotate camshaft or

crankshaft when timing belt is removed, or engine damage may occur.

TIMING BELT

Removal

CAUTION: On models equipped with air bag, DO NOT start work until after 90
seconds from time ignition switch is turned to LOCK position and
negative battery cable is disconnected.

1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Raise and support vehicle. Remove right side engine under cover
(splash) shield. Lower vehicle. Remove accessory drive belts.
2. Disconnect accelerator cable. On A/T models, disconnect throttle cable. On all models, disconnect
PCV hoses. On 1987-91 models, remove air cleaner assembly.
3. On all models, remove bolt, ground strap and vacuum transmitting valves with bracket on right engine
mount. This is mount on timing belt end of engine.
4. Using floor jack, support weight of engine from below. Remove right engine mount from timing belt
end of engine. Remove valve cover. Remove spark plugs.
5. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC on compression stroke. Turn crankshaft pulley, and align groove on
crankshaft with "0" mark on timing belt cover. Ensure rocker arms on No. 1 cylinder are loose. If not,
turn crankshaft pulley one complete revolution.
6. On 1991-94 models with A/C and/or power steering, remove accessory drive pulley from crankshaft
pulley. See Fig. 1.
7. Using Holder (09213-14010) or equivalent, hold crankshaft pulley. Loosen crankshaft pulley center
bolt. Remove holder. Remove crankshaft pulley bolt. Use gear puller, remove crankshaft pulley.
8. Remove timing belt cover. Noting installed position for reassembly reference, remove timing belt
guide. See Fig. 1.
9. If reusing old timing belt, place arrow on belt to indicate direction of rotation. Place mating marks on
belt and crankshaft sprocket, and on camshaft sprocket.
10. Remove timing belt tension spring. See Fig. 1. Loosen No. 1 idler pulley bolt and push pulley to left
as far as it will go. See Fig. 1. Tighten bolt. Remove timing belt.

Inspection

1. Inspect timing belt for damaged teeth, cracking and oil contamination. Ensure No. 1 and No. 2 idler
pulleys rotate freely. Inspect all sprockets for damage. Replace damaged components.
2. Measure free length of tension spring. See Fig. 2. Tension spring free length should be 1.528" (38.8
mm) on 1987-89 engines. On 1990-94 engines, free length should be 1.512" (38.4 mm). Replace
tension spring if free length is not as specified.
3. Measure tension spring at specified installed length. For 1987-89 engines, spring tension should be
18.3 lbs. at 2.157" (8.3 kg at 54.8 mm). For 1990-94 engines, spring tension should be 11.3 lbs. at
2.028" (5.11 kg at 51.5 mm). Replace spring if tension is not as specified.

Installation

NOTE: Before installing timing belt, remove any oil or water from camshaft
sprocket, crankshaft sprocket and idler pulleys.

1. If camshaft sprocket was removed, align knock pin with No. 1 camshaft bearing cap mark. See Fig. 3.
Install camshaft sprocket with "3E" mark facing up. See Fig. 4. Tighten camshaft sprocket bolt to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
2. Align crankshaft sprocket timing mark with mark on oil pump housing. See Fig. 4. If removed, install
No. 1 idler pulley. Move No. 1 idler pulley as far left as it will go, and temporarily tighten bolt.
3. Install No. 2 idler pulley (if removed). Install timing belt on engine. See Fig. 5. If reusing old belt,
ensure all mating marks are aligned and belt is installed in original direction of rotation.
4. Loosen No. 1 idler pulley bolt, and install pulley tension spring. Temporarily install crankshaft pulley
bolt. Turn crankshaft CLOCKWISE 2 revolutions from TDC to TDC. Realign camshaft and
crankshaft sprocket timing marks. If timing marks do not align, remove and reinstall timing belt.
5. If timing marks do align, tighten No. 1 idler pulley bolt to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS. Install timing belt guide. Install timing belt covers.
6. Install crankshaft pulley. Holding crankshaft pulley stationary, tighten crankshaft pulley bolt to
specification. On 1991-94 models, install accessory drive pulley.
7. On all models, install spark plugs. Install valve cover. Install right engine mount to engine and body.
Install vacuum switching valves and engine ground strap to engine mount (if equipped).
8. Connect negative battery cable. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Adjust drive
belts to proper tension.
