Timing belt — Installation (continued) — Verification

  1. 6
    Tighten sprocket bolts to the specified torque while holding the sprockets from rotating with SST KV109B0070.
    Front of engine with arrows pointing at the camshaft and injection-pump sprocket bolts being torqued while the pulley-holding SST KV109B0070 keeps them stationary — illustrates step 6.

  2. 7
    Remove all locking pins. Turn crankshaft two revolutions and check timing and belt tension using SST KV109B0030 and the 3 locking pins. Belt tension should be between: 51 - 57 SEEM units for a new belt; 41 - 47 SEEM units for used belt.
  3. 8
    Install timing belt covers.
    Front of engine showing the timing-belt covers being re-installed with arrows at the four cover-fixing bolts — illustrates step 8.
