Tension Adjustment
CAUTION:
Always adjust the balancer belt tension with the
engine cold.
Do not rotate the crankshaft when the adjusting bolt

belt automatically after making the following adjust-
ment.
Inspect the balancer belt before adjusting the belt
tension.
Always rotate the crankshaft clockwise when viewed
from the pulley side. Rotating it counterclockwise may
result in improper adjustment of the belt tension.

Timing Belt and Balancer Belt
Removal
NOTE:
Replace the timing belt and timing balance belt at
105,000 miles (168,000 km) according to the mainte-
nance schedule (normal conditions, severe condi-
tions). If the vehicle regularly is driven in one or more
of the following conditions, replace the timing belt
and timing balancer belt at 60,000 miles (U.S.A.)
100,000 km (Canada).
— In very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C).
— In very low temperatures (under -20°F, -29°C).
Turn the crankshaft pulley so the No. 1 piston is at
top dead center (TDC) before removing the belt (see
page
).
Inspect the water pump before installing the timing
belt (see page
).
1. Remove the engine cover (see page
).
