REMOVAL & INSTALLATION > FRONT TIMING BELT
Tip: safe mark
CAUTION: DO NOT rotate crankshaft or camshafts
with timing belt removed and cylinder heads installed.
CAUTION: Camshaft timing belt must be replaced if
cylinder head is to be removed or if drive gears,
tensioner or coolant pump are to be replaced. Camshaft
timing belts must be stored and handled with care.
Always store a camshaft timing belt on its edge with a
bend radius greater than 2.0" (50 mm). DO NOT use a
camshaft timing belt that has been twisted or bent
double, as this will damage reinforcing fibers. DO NOT
use a camshaft timing belt if debris other than belt dust is
found in timing belt covers. DO NOT use a camshaft
timing belt if partial engine seizure has occurred. DO
NOT reuse a camshaft timing belt if mileage exceeds
45,000 miles. DO NOT use an oil or coolant
contaminated timing belt (cause of contamination must
be rectified).
