Timing Belt Adjustment Checking
Important: The following steps are the continuation of
Timing Belt Replacement
and must not be performed as a stand-alone
operation.
It is not uncommon to make several repeated adjustments and engine revolutions
to achieve the proper timing belt alignment set points.
Important: Whenever timing belt adjustment is necessary, always start with, and
adjust, camshafts 3 and 4 first.
- Apply the J 42069-20 to camshaft gears 3 and 4.
- Inspect the relationship of the marks on the camshaft gears to
the marks on the J 42069-20. They must match exactly, if not, timing
belt adjustment is required.
- Apply the J 42069-20 to camshaft gears 1 and 2.
- Inspect the relationship of the marks on the camshaft gears to
the marks on the J 42069-20. They must match exactly, if not, timing
belt adjustment is required.
- Continue to the next applicable procedure:
Marks on Camshaft Gears 3 and 4 Align to the LEFT of J 42069-20
- Loosen the timing belt idler pulley for camshaft gears 3 &
4.
- Use the J 42069-40
to turn eccentric on the idler pulley COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the marks on
the camshaft gears and on the J 42069-20 are in alignment (the
high point of the idler pulley eccentric will be in approximately the
12 o'clock position).
Tighten
Tighten the timing belt idler pulley bolt, while holding the eccentric
in place with the J 42069-40 to prevent movement, to 40 N·m
(30 lb ft).
- Remove the J 42069-10 and the J 42069-20.
- Turn the crankshaft in the engine rotational direction 2 revolutions
with the J 42098. Stop at 60 degrees BTDC.
- Install the J 42069-10 to the crankshaft drive gear with
the knurled bolt.

- If camshaft gears 3 and 4 are properly aligned, continue checking
the timing belt adjustment of camshaft gears 1 & 2. Make necessary corrections
as outlined further on in this section.
- AFTER all applicable camshaft gear adjustments are made, set the
final timing belt tensioner as outlined in Timing Belt Tensioner Adjustment
at the end of this procedure.

Important: The following steps are the COMPLETION of installing and/or adjusting

- With the J 42069-10 in place locking the crankshaft at
TDC:
1.1. | Loosen the timing belt
tensioner eccentric locking nut. |
1.2. | Turn the eccentric counterclockwise to full stop, then back until
the reference mark is 2-4 mm ABOVE the reference mark on the flange. |
Tighten
Tighten the timing belt tensioner locking nut to 20 N·m
(15 lb ft).
- If the timing belt idler pulley bolts for camshafts 3 & 4
and 1 & 2 have not been previously torqued to specification:
Tighten
Tighten the timing belt idler pulley bolts while holding the eccentric
in place with the J 42069-40 to prevent movement, to 40 N·m
(30 lb ft).
- Remove all checking tools.
- As a final inspection, once again rotate the engine in the clockwise
direction two revolutions until reaching 60 degrees BTDC.

contacts the water pump pulley flange.
- Secure the moveable lever of the tool to the water pump pulley
flange.
- Inspect the alignment of the reference marks on the camshaft gears
with the notches on the rear timing belt cover, as well as, the mark on the
crankshaft gear with the mark on the oil pump housing.
- Inspect the alignment of the marks on all four camshaft gears
in reference to the marks on the J 42069-20.
- Repeat the procedure again if the marks do not align.
- Continue with the engine reassembly as outlined in
Timing Belt Replacement
if further timing belt
adjustment is not needed.
