Timing Component Kits

Why buy individual parts,
when you can have one
complete kit?
A broken timing belt can cause
severe engine damage. Belt failure
is often caused when the timing
belt tensioner or idler bearing fails.
Avoid the warranties and comebacks
by replacing all system components.
With Gates new Timing
Component Kits, you dont
have to shop for more
components, buy from
multiple sources or hassle
with returning components that dont fit.
Gates timing component
kits provide a complete
system replacement solution, not just a part. Each kit
comes with all the right components, plus detailed installation instructions specific to each
application, so theres no guesswork
required to get the proper fit.

Each kit includes:

Belt*
Tensioner*
Idler*
Detailed installation
instructions
(sample illustrations on
next page)

*Certain kits contain multiple belts,

idlers and tensioners, depending on
the application.

To help your customer avoid costly

engine damage, be sure to recommend
the Timing Belt Promotional Kit
Order Form # 428-1459.
Comes complete with:

Timing Belt Replacement Chart

Replace Timing Belt every 60,000
miles Poster
Timing Belt Warning Stickers
Timing Belt Replacement counter card
with pamphlets

Do the Job Right the First Time...Every Time

Warranties are one of the biggest concerns for
installers, parts manufacturers and everyone in
between. The best way for installers to reduce
comebacks is to do the job right the first time
and always use the highest quality parts.

2. Timing Component Kits provide valueadded features such as detailed installation

instruction sheets and tamper resistant
packaging to assure that all needed parts
are in the package.

Wear, misalignment and loss of lubricant limit

timing belt tensioner and idler life. Most of
these problems cannot be readily identified
by inspection.

3. Ease of parts sourcing. Most counter people

and installers like engine kits because kits
save time. They eliminate the need to look
up each part number.

Many advantages exist to buying Timing Component Kits over

individual components.

4. By replacing all of the timing belt system

components, installers will reduce labor
claims and comebacks.

1. Provides the convenience and ease of buying

through the installers preferred aftermarket
channel. 67% of installers surveyed bought
timing belt tensioners/idlers from automotive dealerships due to limited aftermarket
availability.

5. Since the belt is being replaced, there is

limited extra labor for replacing the idler
and tensioner.

Timing System
The crankshaft drives the
camshaft(s) and actuates the
valves via a belt or a chain.
Because of the advantages over
chain (lighter, quieter, uses less
space) the timing belt is widely
used by car manufacturers.

Important:
To achieve safe and thorough servicing of the engine, we recommend
the belt, belt tensioner units and
idler pulleys of the timing system or
the auxiliary drive all be changed at
the same time. It is highly probable
that the source of damage to the belt (too much or
too little tension, vibration, high temperature, belt
misalignment, etc.) will also have affected the
other rotating components of the system including

the belt tensioner unit and idler pulley. If they are

not changed together with the belt, early breakdown may be encountered, resulting in serious
damage to the engine.

Technical Support
Top Reasons to: Replace Belt
Tensioner and Idler When
Replacing Timing Belt

Several factors can cause timing belt tensioner or idler failure.

Bearing life is limited by wear, temperature,
misalignment, and loss of lubricant. Most of
these problems cannot be readily identified
by an inspection, so it is always best to
replace the tensioner and/or idlers as part of
the timing belt replacement

OEs recommend as part of normal preventative maintenance

Preventative maintenance should address
all forms of failure
After 60,000 miles tensioners are more
likely to fail (especially after installation
and adjustment of new belt)
Reduce labor claims and comebacks
A worn or loose pulley can cause belt
problems
Normal tensions cannot be maintained to
assure proper life of replacement belt
Internal bearing wear is not noticeable

Todays Timing Belts are

Highly Sophisticated
The days of generic timing belts of standard
materials and tooth profiles are gone.
Improved new generation belts are providing
the extended durability and smoother performance characteristics required by todays
engines.

Gates leads the world in timing belt technology, assuring customers a replacement belt to
match the capabilities of the original belts.

Tooth profiles arent

interchangeable
The earliest timing belts had a trapezoidal profile. Competition and more demanding applications led to the development of a curvilinear
profile. This, in turn, evolved to a modified
curvilinear profile. Belts with different tooth profiles are not interchangeable.

Trapezoidal

Curvilinear

Gates complete line of more than 250 timing

belt numbers continues to grow and set the
industry standard. Our timing belts include the
popular tooth profiles pictured at right.

Modified Curvilinear

NOTE: Trapezoidal, curvilinear and modified

curvilinear tooth profiles will not interchange,
and a neoprene belt will not replace HSN (Highly
Saturated Nitrile). Replacing a high performance
timing belt with a non-OE equivalent belt may
severely shorten the belt life. Gates offers OE
equivalency in timing belt replacements.

Dont be misled by
initial cost
The cost of the belt is only 5 10 percent of
the cost of replacement. Changing any timing
belt can be labor intensive and costly. In the
case of interference engines*, the repair bill
for a failed timing belt can be up to 10 times
the cost of replacing the belt.

Many engines from other countries use different

timing belts and sprockets than like engines
designed for the North American market. While
these engines may look identical and fit exactly
the same in similar vehicles, the belts may be
vastly different. Please take special care to look
for these differences if you suspect your engine
may have been replaced with an imported
engine.

Gates first to use HSN

Neoprene, an excellent material in its own
right, was standard until 1985, when Gates
introduced the first belts made of highly-saturated nitrile (HSN). In short supply, and difficult to engineer, HSN is the material of choice
for most new engine timing belts. An
HSN-constructed belt appears no different
than a neoprene belt, but significantly outperforms in the high-temperature engine compartments of modern vehicles.

Easy installation
every time

HSN belts are worth

the price
They cost more than neoprene belts, but theyre
a small percentage of the total cost of replacing
a belt and theyre absolutely necessary for
acceptable service life. The fact is, theyre
worth every penny. Todays engines require
high-performance belts. Thats why car manufacturers use HSN in so many new engines.
*An interference engine is an engine in which the valves and the
piston may contact each other if the timing is not set correctly.

IV

Gates timing belts

have positioning
marks to make
installation fast
and easy. You
wont find that
with many competitive belts,
which require you
to count individual
teeth to correctly
position the belt.

Belt Cracking

1. Subminimal diameter.
2. Backside idler.
3. Extreme low temperature at start-up.
4. Extended exposure to harsh chemicals.
5. Cocked bushing/sprocket assembly.

1. Redesign drive for increased capacity.

2. Use inside idler or increase diameter of backside idler
3. Pre-heat drive environment.
4. Protect drive.
5. Install bushing per instructions.

Land Wear

1. Excessive tension.
2. Rough pulley(s).

1. Adjust tension to recommended value.

2. Replace pulley(s).

Oil Contamination

1. Oil leak.

1. Replace faulty oil seal(s).

Edge Wear

1. Damage due to handling.

2. Flange damage.
3. Belt too wide.
4. Belt tension too low.
5. Rough flange surface finish.
6. Improper tracking.
7. Belt hitting drive guard or bracketry.

1. Follow proper handling instructions.

2. Repair flange or replace sprocket.
3. Use proper width sprocket.
4. Adjust tension to recommended value.
5. Replace or repair flange to eliminate abrasive surface.
6. Correct alignment.
7. Remove obstruction or use inside idler.

Unusual Noise

1. High tension.
2. Low tension.
3. Misalignment.
4. Damaged Flange.

1. Adjust tension to recommended value.

2. Adjust tension to recommended value.
3. Realign pulleys.
4. Replace pulleys.

Storage
Belts should be kept in their original packaging until
needed. Store in an environment which avoids:
Temperature extremes
Direct sunlight
High humidity
Contamination by oil, water, chemicals, etc.

Handling
It is important that belts are not crimped during handling since this could seriously damage the tensile
members and lead to premature failure.

Installation Tips
Pulleys should be clean, free from wear or damage
and their alignment must be correct.
Tensioners and idlers (when applicable) should be
free to rotate and move (when appropriate).
Bearings should be in good condition. Belts should be
fitted in accordance with the engine manufacturers instructions to ensure that belt tension and engine timing is correct.
IMPORTANT: Avoid crimping the belt when installing
it on pulleys no tools should be used on the belt.
Refit cover to prevent drive contamination by foreign
matter.

Replacement
Follow vehicle manufacturers instructions regarding
belt replacement intervals. If the belt is removed, then
a new belt should be installed (except where an automatic tensioner is used). If engine is being repaired
and belt is near OEM recommended replacement interval, its a good time to replace the belt.

Free Running or Interference Engine?

You and Your Customers Need to Know.
Automobile engines can be classified as either Free-Running or Interference, depending on what
occurs if piston/valve synchronization is lost.
As illustrated below, in the free-running engine with the crankshaft still moving, there is enough
clearance between the valve and piston, even if the cam stops with a valve fully open.
However, interference engines usually sustain damage if synchronization is lost. As illustrated,
disrupted synchronization allows the piston and valve to collide causing damage and very
expensive repairs for the vehicle owner. Damage can occur to valves, pistons, or heads, and in
some cases, completely ruin the engine. Most import (with higher compression engines) and
most car and light truck diesel engines are interference. To avoid costly engine repairs, follow the
auto manufacturers mileage replacement recommendations or we recommend timing belt
replacement at around 60,000 miles.

NOTE: For your convenience, interference engines have been footnoted with a star in the
application listings of this publication. This lets you easily identify them, and pass that
information on to your customers.
Since timing belts are inside the engine they tend to be an out-of-sight, out-of-mind item and are
seldom thought of as a part of routine maintenance. Here are some questions to ask customers
that will help sell belts and protect the customer from expensive repairs:
1. Did you buy the car new? If yes, theyll know if the belt has ever been replaced.
2. Did you buy the car used? If so, they wont know if the belt has been replaced. This is a
flag for the customer to get the belt checked, replaced or at least be aware that he has a
timing belt.
3. How many miles are on the vehicle? Generally belts should be replaced at around 60,000
miles or less. Our Timing Belt Replacement Recommendations Booklet is an excellent
tool for determining replacement intervals.
4. Have you ever replaced the timing belt? If the answer is yes or no (and the customer
knows the mileage) you can determine where the vehicle is in the replacement cycle.
Heres a helpful hint for customers with vehicles within a few thousand miles of the recommended
replacement interval. If they are having any engine repair done, have the timing belt checked. If it
needs replacing, do it along with the other repairs and save time and money.

BELT TENSIONING
V- Belt Tension Ranges for Manual Tensioners
Always use a belt tension gauge that indicates static tension, such as the Gates Krikit Tension Gauge, to determine proper tension from the Installation Chart. Tension ranges below are for drives requiring single belts. If
multiple belts are needed for a drive, divide tension by number of belts to give per belt tension to be measured.
Position belt and set tension to the prescribed Installation Tension.
Run belt for five minutes.
If belt tension drops below Suggested Tension range, retighten belt to Installation Tension. This will allow the
belt to seat-in and run at Suggested Tension after it has operated under normal driving conditions.

Micro-V Belt Tension Ranges for Manual Tensioners

Always use a belt tension gauge that indicates static tension, such as the Gates Krikit Tension Gauge, to
determine proper tension from the Installation Chart. Many Micro-V belts are automatically tensioned by a
spring-loaded automatic tensioner, which does not require tension to be set.
The tension ranges below are used for applications requiring manual tensioning.
For drives with manual take-up on locked-center drives, position the belt and set tension to the prescribed
Installation Tension.
Run belt for five minutes.
If belt tension drops below Suggested Tension range, retighten belt to the Installation Tension. This will allow
the belt to seat-in and run at Suggested Tension after it has operated under normal driving conditions.

(8.0 mm) diameter Phillips screwdriver into the hole against
balance shaft. See Fig. 5. Screwdriver must go in at least
2.36 (60 mm) or more. If screwdriver will only go in about
.79-.98 (20-25 mm), turn sprocket one revolution and align
timing mark. Keep screwdriver in place until timing belt is
installed. This ensures that balance shaft driven by oil
pump sprocket remains in correct position.
To remove timing belt B (balance shaft belt), hold crankshaft sprocket stationary with a spanner wrench. Remove
crankshaft sprocket bolt. Using gear puller, remove outer
crankshaft sprocket.
Remove crankshaft sensing blade (if equipped). See Fig.
4. Loosen timing belt B tensioner bolt. If reusing timing
belt B, mark direction of belt rotation for reassembly reference. Remove timing belt B.

Inspect timing belts for damaged teeth and cracking. Ensure belts are not contaminated with oil. Check tensioners
for free rotation and grease leakage. Replace components
if damaged or if grease leakage exists.
Check timing belt auto tensioner for leaks. Hold timing belt
auto tensioner upright. Measure rod protrusion above edge
of housing. See Fig. 6. Length should be .47 (12 mm).
Apply 22-44 lbs. (98-196 N) of force to end of rod. If auto
tensioner rod moves more than .039 (1 mm), replace the
auto tensioner.
Installation:
Retract rod into auto tensioner housing by placing auto
tensioner assembly in a soft-jawed vise. Close vise
SLOWLY to push rod back into auto tensioner housing.
When pin hole in cylinder aligns with pin hole in rod, insert
set pin. Replace tensioner assembly if rod can be retracted
easily into housing. Install auto tensioner on engine with
set pin in place.
Align balance shaft and crankshaft timing marks with rear
cover. See Figs. 7 and 8. Install timing belt B on sprockets. If using old belt, install belt in original direction of rotation. Ensure there is no slack in tension side of belt.
CAUTION: Ensure tensioner pulley shaft does not rotate when
bolt is tightened or excessive pressure will be applied to timing belt.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

TIMING BELT

Removal:
Disconnect negative battery cable. Loosen left front wheel
lug nuts, then raise and support vehicle with jack stands.
Remove left front wheel and tire assembly. Remove left
front inner splash shield through the wheel well. Remove
coolant reservoir. Support engine with jack and wooden
block placed under the oil pan. Remove right side engine
mount.
Remove accessory drive belts and pulleys. Remove timing
belt upper and lower front covers. Rotate crankshaft in normal
direction of rotation and align timing marks. See Fig. 1. Remove auto-tensioner assembly, then remove camshaft timing belt.
Remove crankshaft sprocket bolt, then crankshaft sprocket
and flange. Remove balance shaft timing belt tensioner
pulley bolt, then remove tensioner pulley. Remove balance
shaft timing belt. Ensure balance shaft (silent shaft)
sprocket and crankshaft sprocket timing marks are properly aligned. See Fig. 2.

Installation:
Align crankshaft and balance shaft sprocket timing marks
with the marks on the timing case. See Fig. 2. Install balance shaft timing belt over crankshaft and balance shaft
sprockets. When installing timing belt, be sure tension side
of belt has no slack. Install balance shaft belt tensioner.
Assemble tensioner so that pulley is to the left of the installation bolt and pulley flange is facing the front of engine.
Raise the tensioner toward belt by hand. Apply sufficient
pressure so that tension side of belt is taut, then tighten
tensioner bolt. Ensure that tensioner does not rotate with
bolt as it is tightened, as excessive tension will be placed
on the belt. Ensure that timing marks are still aligned, then
check belt tension. See Fig. 2. There should be approximately .20-.28" (5.0-7.0 mm) slack on tension side of belt
when belt is moved by hand.
Install crankshaft sprocket flange with the raised side facing outward, then install crankshaft sprocket. Measure protrusion of auto-tensioner plunger from tensioner housing.
Protrusion should be .47" (11.9 mm). Position timing belt
tensioner in a soft jawed vise, then carefully compress
plunger. After plunger has been compressed, insert a .055
(1.4 mm) pin or wire through tensioner body to hold plunger
in place.
Remove auto-tensioner from vise and install on engine.
Ensure crankshaft and camshaft timing marks are aligned.
See Fig. 1. With oil pump sprocket timing marks aligned,
remove plug from side of engine and insert a screwdriver,
with a shaft diameter of .31" (8.0 mm), into the hole. See
Fig. 3. If screwdriver can be inserted 2.4" (61.0 mm) or
more, alignment is correct.
If screwdriver can only be inserted .8-1" (20.3-25.4 mm),
rotate oil pump sprocket one revolution and realign timing
marks. Ensure screwdriver can be inserted 2.4" (61.0 mm)
or more. Leave screwdriver inserted in hole until after timing belt has been installed.
Install camshaft timing belt, first over crankshaft sprocket,
then oil pump sprocket, idler pulley, camshaft sprocket and
tensioner pulley. Hold belt so there is no slack on tension
side. Apply counterclockwise force on camshaft sprocket to
aid in tensioning belt. Ensure that all timing marks remain
aligned. Carefully position timing belt tensioner pulley
against timing belt, then tighten center bolt. Rotate crankshaft pulley 1/4 turn counterclockwise, then turn clockwise,
aligning crankshaft and camshaft timing marks.
Loosen tensioner pulley retaining bolt, then position socket
tool and a suitable torque wrench to the pulley. See Fig. 4.
Tighten to specification. Tighten retaining bolt while holding
the pulley in position. Install set screw tool through left hand
engine support bracket. Engine may need to be raised slightly
to install set screw tool. Tighten set screw tool until it contacts
tensioner arm, then tighten tool slightly more. Remove pin or
wire retaining auto-tensioner plunger, then remove set screw
tool.
Rotate engine in the clockwise direction two turns. After approximately 15 minutes, measure auto-tensioner plunger protrusion
from tensioner housing. Plunger protrusion should be .15-.18"

Fig. 8: Measuring Timing Belt Deflection

Ensure timing belt tension is taught (no slack). Measure

timing belt deflection midway between left bank camshafts
(viewed from rear of engine) and left side idler pulley (viewed
from rear of engine). See Fig. 8. Deflection should be no
more than 0.40 (10 mm). If initial timing belt deflection is
okay, go to TIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT. If timing
belt deflection is not correct, go to TIMING BELT DEFLECTION ADJUSTMENT.
Timing Belt Deflection Adjustment:
If timing belt deflection adjustment is necessary, loosen
left (drivers) side idler pulley bolt. (This is NOT the idler
pulley positioned between camshaft sprockets in top, center of engine). Turn left idler pulley counterclockwise until
high point of eccentric nut is in about 12 oclock position.
See Fig 5. Snug idler pulley bolt while holding eccentric so
it does not move. Go to next step.
Apply additional tension to timing belt by loosening bolt for
idler pulley located between camshaft sprockets (top, center of engine). Rotate high point of eccentric to 9 oclock
position. Tighten idler pulley bolt while holding eccentric
so it does not rotate. Go to TIMING BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT.
Timing Belt Tension Adjustment:
Loosen timing belt tensioner lock nut. Turn tensioner eccentric counterclockwise to full stop. Turn eccentric back
until reference mark is .039 (1 mm) from belt tension setting flange. See Fig 9. Tighten timing belt tensioner lock nut
until snug. Lock nut will be final tightened after final adjustments are made. Go to CHECKING CAMSHAFT
SPROCKET ALIGNMENT.
Checking Camshaft Sprocket Alignment:
Ensure timing belt alignment marks are still aligned with
reference points on camshaft sprockets and rear timing
belt cover. Remove all locking tools from camshafts and
timing belt.
Rotate crankshaft clockwise 2 revolutions, stopping at 60
degrees before TDC mark. See Fig. 2. Install Crankshaft
Holder (J42069-10) to crankshaft flange. Secure moveable
lever of tool to water pump pulley flange.
NOTE: Alignment marks on timing belt will no longer align with
camshaft sprocket marks after one or more crankshaft revolutions.

Fig. 9: Adjusting Timing Belt Tension (New Design Engine

Shown; Early Design Engine Tensioner Is The Same)

Ensure crankshaft timing mark aligns with mark on oil pump

housing. Ensure camshaft timing marks align with notches
on rear cover.
Use Checking Gauge (J42069-20) to inspect alignment of
left bank and right bank camshaft gears. See Fig. 10. The
reference marks on both sets of camshaft sprockets must
match exactly with marks on Checking Gauge (J4206920).
If timing belt readjustment is NOT necessary, go to FINAL
TIMING BELT TENSIONING & INSTALLATION. If timing belt
readjustment IS necessary, go to TIMING BELT READJUSTMENT.

NOTE: When readjusting timing belt tension, Crankshaft Holder

(J42069-10) must be in position on engine.

Timing Belt Readjustment (Left Bank Camshafts):

If timing belt readjustment is required, always start with left
bank (drivers side) camshafts first. Install Checking Gauge
(J42069-20) to left bank camshafts.
Loosen idler pulley on drivers side of engine. This is idler
pulley below camshaft sprockets. Using Wrench (J4206940) or equivalent, turn idler pulley eccentric COUNTERCLOCKWISE until timing marks on camshaft sprockets
and checking gauge are in alignment. High point of idler
pulley eccentric should be in about the 12 oclock position.

distance from end of automatic tensioner rod to top of automatic tensioner housing. Distance should be .47" (12 mm).
If out of specification, replace automatic tensioner.
Compressing Automatic Tensioner:
Check if plug at bottom of tensioner protrudes past
tensioner housing. If plug protrudes past housing, place a
washer over plug to prevent plug from contacting vise when
pushing rod into tensioner housing. Place tensioner assembly in a soft-faced vise.
SLOWLY squeeze rod back into automatic tensioner. Replace tensioner if rod can be retracted easily into automatic
tensioner. Align holes in rod and automatic tensioner body.
See Fig. 3. Insert drill bit or pin through holes to retain rod in
retracted position.
NOTE: If right (viewed from rear of engine) balance shaft sprocket
was removed, ensure right balance shaft spacer is installed with
chamfer toward engine. Before installation, apply light coat
of engine oil to spacer.

Installation (Balance Shaft Belt):

Ensure crankshaft sprocket and right side balance shaft
sprocket timing marks are aligned with marks on oil pump
housing. See Fig. 1. Install balance shaft belt. If removed,
install balance shaft tensioner pulley and center bolt.
Install balance shaft belt (timing belt B). No slack should
be present in belt. Lift tensioner toward belt so that large
part of center eccentric is to the left and above the center
bolt. See Fig. 2.
While tightening balance shaft tensioner center bolt, ensure tensioner and sprockets DO NOT rotate. Ensure timing marks are still aligned. Check belt tension by applying
finger pressure to side of belt opposite tensioner. See Fig.
2. Deflection should be .20-.28" (5-7 mm). If not, readjust
belt tension.
Install crankshaft flange and outer sprocket. Install flange
in correct direction to prevent damage to timing belt. See
Fig. 5.

CAUTION: DO NOT rotate engine counterclockwise (as viewed

Installation (Camshaft Timing Belt):

If crankshaft sprocket was removed, ensure sprocket,
spacer and flange are installed correctly. See Fig. 4.
Remove automatic tensioner from vise, and install onto
engine with wire in place. Install tensioner arm. Position
tensioner pulley so that pin holes are left of center bolt. See
Fig. 8. Temporarily tighten camshaft tension pulley center
bolt.

CAUTION: The same camshaft sprocket is used on intake and

exhaust camshafts. Each has two timing marks. Both camshaft
sprockets are positioned correctly when the center dowel pin
holes face up (12 oclock position).

Rotate camshaft sprockets so dowel pins face up and timing marks on sprockets align. See Fig. 7. Inner marks on
sprockets should be aligned with cylinder head surface.
When exhaust camshaft sprocket is released, camshaft
will rotate one tooth in counterclockwise direction. When
installing timing belt, compensate for rotation.
Rotate crankshaft and align timing marks on crankshaft
and oil pump sprockets. If installing old timing belt, ensure
it is installed in original direction of rotation.
Install timing belt on tensioner pulley and crankshaft
sprocket. Hold belt in place using left hand. Pull belt around

cylinder head surface. See Fig. 7. Using both hands, install
timing belt around exhaust camshaft sprocket.
Rotate tensioner pulley in toward timing belt until belt does
not sag. Temporarily tighten center bolt on tensioner pulley.
Ensure all timing marks are still aligned.
To adjust camshaft belt tension, rotate crankshaft 1/4 turn
counterclockwise, and then rotate until No.1 cylinder is at
TDC. Loosen center bolt on camshaft belt tensioner pulley.
Install Socket Wrench (MD998752) into pin holes offset to
left center of pulley. See Fig. 12. Using INCH lb. torque
wrench and socket wrench, apply a clockwise torque of 2325 INCH Ibs. (2.6-2.8 N.m) on tensioner pulley. With torque
applied to tensioner pulley, tighten tensioner pulley center
bolt to 31-40 ft. Ibs. (42-54 N.m). DO NOT allow pulley to
rotate while tightening center bolt.

NOTE: If engine is in vehicle, it may be necessary during tensioner

pulley adjustment to jack up engine slightly for clearance.

Install Set Screw (09244-28000) or equivalent, in left engine support bracket until screw end contacts tensioner
arm. See Fig. 9. Turn set screw further until wire can be
removed from automatic tensioner. Remove set screw.
Rotate crankshaft clockwise 2 complete revolutions, and
leave in this position for approximately 15 minutes. After 15
minutes, measure distance between bottom of tensioner
arm and top of automatic tensioner body (automatic
tensioner rod extension). Distance should be .15-.18" (3.84.5 mm). See Fig. 13, Dimension A. Repeat timing belt
tensioning procedure until correct distance is obtained. If
correct distance can be measured, go to last step. If correct
distance CANNOT be measured, go to next step.
If engine is in vehicle or distance cannot be measured due
to lack of clearance, an alternate method can be used.
Install Set Screw (09244-28000) until it contacts tensioner
arm.
Turn set screw inward, counting number of turns until
tensioner arm contacts automatic tensioner housing. Set
screw should rotate 2 1/2 - 3 turns inward if belt tension is
correct. Repeat timing belt tensioning procedure until correct distance is obtained. Remove set screw.

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

TIMING BELT NOISE: FRONT CASE

Description: Some 1999-00 Elantras and Tiburons produced

before Sept. 22, 1999, may exhibit an unusual noise at the
front of the engine. The noise may be caused by the timing
belt rubbing against the front of the engine.
Some timing belt idler pulley mounting surfaces were machined incorrectly. This can cause the timing belt to ride off of
the timing belt sprockets and into the front cover.
Service Procedure: If this condition exists, the forward edge
of the timing belt will shredded and the inside of the upper
timing belt cover will be worn. Replace the front case, idler
pulley, timing belt and any other damaged components.

TIMING BELT
Removal (1983-88):
Disconnect negative battery cable. On models equipped
with A/C, remove upper radiator shroud and cooling fan/
clutch assembly. On models equipped with power steering, remove power steering pump and pulley. On all models, position No. 1 cylinder at TDC of compression stroke.
Loosen pulley bolts. Remove drive belts.
Remove crankshaft, water pump and power steering pulleys. Remove upper and lower front timing belt covers. Relieve camshaft timing belt tensioner pressure and secure
tensioner toward water pump. If camshaft timing belt is to be
reused, mark belt with an arrow indicating direction of rotation
and remove belt. Remove camshaft and crankshaft sprocket
bolts. Remove camshaft sprocket, crankshaft sprocket and
crankshaft flange.
Remove plug on left side of cylinder block. Insert a screwdriver to keep left silent shaft in position. See Fig. 3. Remove oil pump sprocket. Loosen right silent shaft sprocket
mounting bolt until it can be turned by hand. Remove belt
tensioner B and timing belt B.
Inspection (1983-88):
Inspect back of belt for hardness, non-elasticity and glossy
surface. If no mark is produced when fingernail is forced
into it, replace belt. Check for rounded sides on belt, flaking, peeling, cracking and separating rubber. Cracks are
most evident at base of tooth.
Installation (1983-88):
Install timing belt B ensuring tension side has no slack.
Install tensioner B so only light pressure is on belt. Ensure flange on tensioner is mounted away from engine
and finger-tighten bolt. Lift tensioner with finger tip until slack
is removed from tension side of belt. Tighten tensioner bolt,
being careful to prevent turning shaft. Ensure timing marks
are in alignment. Tighten right silent shaft bolt.
Check belt tension by pressing center of tension side inward, using index finger and measuring belt deflection.
Deflection should be .20-.30" (5.0-7.0 mm). Readjust if not
within specification. Align camshaft timing belt sprockets
with corresponding timing marks. See Fig. 1 or Fig. 2. To
ensure oil pump sprocket is in correct alignment, insert
screwdriver shaft in hole on left side of block. See Fig. 3.
If screwdriver cannot be inserted at least 2.4" (60.0 mm),
turn oil pump sprocket one revolution and realign marks.
Insert screwdriver. Leave screwdriver inserted until timing
belt installation is complete. With tensioner secured fully
toward water pump, install timing belt in order of crankshaft sprocket, oil pump sprocket and camshaft sprocket.
Ensure tension side of belt has no slack. Loosen tensioner
mounting bolt and nut to allow only tensioner spring pressure to tighten belt.
Check belt to ensure each tooth is in proper mesh with
camshaft sprocket. Tighten slot-side bolt before tightening
nut. Otherwise, tension bracket will turn and belt will be too
tight. Ensure all timing marks are in correct alignment. Remove screwdriver and install plug in block. Turn crankshaft,
clockwise only, one revolution. Loosen mounting nut and
bolt to allow tensioner to readjust and tighten slot-side bolt,
then tighten nut.
Hold belt and seal line of undercover, between thumb and
forefinger, at center of tension side. Measure clearance
between belt and seal line. Clearance should be .55" (14.0
mm). Reverse removal procedure to complete reassembly.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

TIMING BELT

Removal:
Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove engine undercover. Drain coolant from radiator and cylinder block. Remove radiator. Remove accessory drive belts. Remove cooling fan and coupling. Remove starter.
Lock flywheel/flexplate to prevent crankshaft from rotating.
Remove crankshaft pulley bolt and pulley. Remove water
inlet and outlet hoses. Remove timing belt front covers.
Remove spark plugs.
Install a stopper bolt (M6 x 16) into timing belt tensioner
arm to maintain tensioner position. See Fig. 1. Set cylinder
No. 1 at TDC of compression stroke by rotating crankshaft
until timing marks align. Remove timing belt tensioner and
timing belt.
Inspection:
Replace timing belt if cracked, worn or saturated with oil or
coolant. Replace tensioner if it leaks oil.
Installation:
Ensure cylinder No. 1 is at TDC of compression stroke.
See Fig. 1. Measure clearance between tensioner arm and
tensioner body (distance pusher rod protrudes from
tensioner body). If clearance is .16" (.4 mm), go to step
after next. If clearance is not .16" (.4 mm), go to next step.
Remove tensioner. Remove stopper bolt. Using a vise, adjust clearance until it is as specified. Install stopper bolt in
tensioner to maintain clearance. Install tensioner. Handtighten tensioner nut and bolts.
Install timing belt with arrow on timing belt facing front of
engine. Align White lines on timing belt with marks on camshaft sprockets and crankshaft sprocket. White lines ensure
correct number of teeth exist between timing marks on sprockets.
Push tensioner gently toward timing belt to prevent belt
from slipping (excessive pressure will overtighten belt). Maintain light pressure on tensioner.
Turn crankshaft clockwise 10 degrees. Tighten tensioner
bolts and nut. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Turn crankshaft counterclockwise 120 degrees. Turn crankshaft clockwise until cylinder No. 1 is at TDC of compression stroke.

Loosen tensioner nut and bolts 1/2 turn. Move tensioner as

far pack as possible. Using Push/Pull Gauge (J-38387) or
equivalent, apply 15.2-18.3 lbs. (6.9-8.3 kg) pressure to
end of pusher. See Fig. 2. Tighten tensioner nut and bolts.
Turn crankshaft 120 degrees clockwise, then turn it 120 degrees counterclockwise to TDC. Fabricate a small steel plate.
See Fig. 3. Set plate at each position shown (A, B, C and
D).
Using push/pull gauge, apply 11 lbs. (5 kg) pressure. Measure and record timing belt deflection in each position. Divide
sum of measurements (A + B + C + D) by 4 to obtain
average.
Average timing belt deflection should be .24-.28" (6-7 mm).
If deflection is not as specified, repeat last five (5) steps. If
timing belt deflection is excessive, change amount of pushing force applied in third step back.
Remove tensioner stopper bolt. After 5 minutes, ensure
clearance between pusher rod and tensioner arm is .138.205" (3.5-5.2 mm). Check for slippage or misplacement of
timing belt at each sprocket. Install timing belt covers. To
complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Adjust
drive belts to proper tension. See page A-60 for belt tension
ranges.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

TIMING BELT
NOTE: On 1983 4.5L V8 models, the tooth shape of the timing
belt was changed to high torque drive (HTD). See Fig. 1. New HTD
belts can be used on older engines if sprockets with new tooth
shape are installed. NEVER mix sprockets with different tooth
shapes.
NOTE: When replacing drive belt, ensure proper type is used
and new belt teeth match used sprockets. Early design belt uses
square-shouldered teeth with belt thickness of .18" (4.5 mm). Late
design belt uses round teeth (high torque drive type) with a belt
thickness of .22" (5.6 mm). All sprockets must match belt tooth
design.

Removal:
Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove air cleaner intake hoses. Remove accessory drive belts. Disconnect
cables for throttle, cruise control and automatic transaxle.
Remove retainers and clamp on console and position cable
aside. Remove clutch slave cylinder.
CAUTION: NEVER operate clutch pedal when slave cylinder is

NOTE: Manufacturer indicates sufficient clearance exists so

pistons and valves will not collide when crankshaft is turned
with camshaft timing belt removed.

Preload belt by hand and install belt on sprockets in order

of crankshaft, oil pump, left camshaft, water pump, right
camshaft and tension roller. See Fig. 2. Ensure belt and
camshaft sprocket teeth match. If necessary, rotate camshaft counterclockwise until teeth match. Tighten timing
belt to specification. Rotate engine 2 revolutions and align
cylinder No. 1 at TDC of compression stroke.
Check camshaft timing marks for proper alignment and
retighten camshaft drive belt. Ensure tester is not turned or
pushed during tension measurement. Recheck belt adjustment at least once. Adjust drive belts to proper tension.
See page A-60 for belt tension ranges.
Adjustment:
With both upper drive belt guards removed, rotate crankshaft (in direction of rotation) and position cylinder No. 1 at
TDC of compression stroke. Mark on vibration damper
should be in alignment with Red indicator on cover.
Ensure each camshaft sprocket timing mark is in alignment with mark cast on camshaft bearing cap. Turn engine
over 2 more times until TDC is reached again.
Check timing belt for damage and wear. Pull out lock pin,
then completely push out gauge pin (opposite lock pin) on
Timing Belt Tension Tester (9201) or equivalent. Move telltale to 0 position on gauge. See Fig. 3.
Slide tension tester onto belt section between tension roller
and lower camshaft sprocket. Ensure measuring pin is
resting in belt grove. Push tester down on side closer to
tensioner, until gauge needle, resting on air pump bracket,
engages.
Read measured valve while keeping tester horizontal to
belt and free of tension. Tester must not touch plastic cover.
Move telltale to 0 position on gauge.
Pull out lock pin to disengage gauge needle again. Remove tester from timing belt and read measured value.
Correct belt tension if necessary. Adjustment screw is located on bottom of engine, at right front side. To adjust,
loosen adjustment screw lock nut and turn adjustment
screw until tension is correct. Tighten lock nut and turn
engine 2 revolutions. Recheck tension adjustment.
TIMING BELT TENSION

TIMING BELT TENSIONER

NOTE: The timing belt tensioning mechanism uses hydraulic
dampening and a temperature compensation mechanism to reduce
belt load and dampen oscillation. See Fig. 4. The tensioner roller
and carrier is supported against the pull of toothed belt by a
push rod and piston on a 7 packet (5 each) bi-metallic diaphragm
spring set. Tensioner is filled with engine oil (which is added
only after installation on block). Replacement tensioners are
not oil filled so oil must be added and unit bled for proper operation.
Pockets between tensioner roller housing and engine block are
used as oil reservoirs to aid in heat transfer between engine block
and tension roller housing and activate bimetallic diaphragm
springs.

When installing tensioner, ensure sealing surface on block

is in good condition. Apply Locktite (No. 574) to sealing
surface before installation. When filling tensioner, damping chamber may be bled by pumping tension roller carrier.
Ensure belt is loose and oil filler bolt and bleeder are open.
To fill, remove the larger oil filler and open Allen head bleeder
screws on tensioner housing. Using an oil can, slowly pour
oil into filler hole until air-free oil flows from bleeder hole.
Install and tighten filler and bleeder screws. Check fluid
level after 1000 miles and at 15,000 mile intervals thereafter. To check, remove filler bolt. If oil can be seen, level is
okay. If not, add oil as necessary.

facing up with equally large angles in comparison with cylinder head. See Fig. 1. Place Camshaft Lock Gauge Tool
(5190) or equivalent in camshaft groove at rear of cylinder
head.
Place a .008" (.2 mm) feeler gauge under left side of Camshaft Locking Gauge Tool (5190) or equivalent. See Fig. 3.
Install timing gear belt and damper pulley. Replace 4
damper pulley bolts and torque to 15 ft. lbs. (20 N.m).
NOTE: Feeler gauge placed under Camshaft Lock Gauge Tool
(5190) or equivalent is to compensate for timing gear clearance.

Using Damper Pulley Wrench Tools (5187 and 5188) or

equivalent, install and torque center bolt (use sealing agent
on center bolt threads) of damper pulley to 255 ft. lbs. (350
N.m). Install front timing gear belt and camshaft timing gear
(ensuring camshaft does not turn). Torque to 33 ft. lbs. (45
N.m) after setting timing marks.
Remove Camshaft Gauge Locking Tool (5190) and feeler
gauge from rear of camshaft. Install rear camshaft gear
and injection pump belt. Set injection pump timing. See
Fig. 4.
Position Belt Tension Gauge Tool (5197) or equivalent on
timing and injection pump belt, set gauge to .50" (12.5 mm).
Place tension on belt until mark on plunger is flush with
gauge sleeve and tighten bolts.
Using coolant pump to adjust timing gear belt tension, place
tension on belt until mark on plunger is flush with gauge
sleeve. Install valve cover and new gaskets. Install front
and rear timing gear covers. Install lower belt shield. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation. Adjust
drive belts to proper tension. See page A-60 for belt tension
ranges.
