3. INSPECT TENSION SPRING

(a) Measure the free length of tension spring.
Free length: 46.0 mm (1.811 in.)

If the free length is not as specified, replace the tension
spring.
(b) Measure the tension of the tension spring at the

specified installed length.

Installed tension:

32 – 37 N (3.25 – 3.75 kgf, 7.2 – 8.3 lbf)

at 50.5 mm (1.988 in.)

If the installed tension is not as specified, replace the
tension spring.

(e) If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check

the timing cover for damage, correct gasket installa-
tion, and the foreign material on the pulley teeth.
If necessary, replace the timing belt.

(d) If there is wear or damage on only one side of the

belt, check the belt guide and the alignment of each
pulley.

(c) If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face,

check to see if there are nicks on the side of the idler
pulley lock.

2. INSPECT IDLER PULLEYS

Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
