CAUTION

•

The bolt is not tightening sufficiently if the 
tightening angle is less than a 90 degree 
angle.

•

If the tightening angle exceeds the standard 
specification, remove the bolt and start over 
from step 1.

(5) Tighten in a 90 degree angle as shown in the 

instructions of the figure, then check to see 
that the paint mark on the head of the cylinder 
head bolts and the paint mark on the cylinder 
head is on a linear line.

>>C<< FUEL HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE 
INSTALLATION

CAUTION

After connecting the fuel high-pressure hose, 
slightly pull it to ensure that it is installed 
securely. Also confirm that there is a play 
approximately 3 mm. Then install the stopper 
securely.
Apply a small amount of engine oil to the fuel line 
pipe and then install the fuel high-pressure hose.

>>D<< RADIATOR UPPER HOSE CONNECTION

1. Insert radiator upper hose until it contacts the 

projection on the water outlet fitting.

2. Align the mating marks on the radiator upper hose 

and hose clamp, and then secure the radiator 
upper hose.

>>E<< CAMSHAFT SPROCKET INSTALLATION

1. Use the following special tool as during removal to 

hold the camshaft sprocket.

•

Front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767)

•

Pin (MD998719)

2. Tighten the camshaft sprocket mounting bolt to 

the specified torque.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> VALVE TIMING BELT REMOVAL

CAUTION

Never turn the crankshaft anti-clockwise.

1. Turn the crankshaft clockwise, align each timing 

mark to set No.1 cylinder to TDC of its 
compression stroke.

2. Remove the timing belt under cover rubber plug 

and then set special tool adjusting bolt 
(MD998738).

3. Screw in the special tool with hands until it 

contacts the timing belt tensioner arm.

CAUTION

The special tool can be gradually installed at a 
rate of a 30 degree turn per second. If it is 
screwed in all at once, the timing belt tensioner 
adjuster rod will not easily retract and the special 
tool may bend.

4. Gradually screw in the special tool and then align 

the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod set hole A 
with the timing belt tensioner adjuster cylinder set 
hole B.
