How to Install the Timing Belt on a Cruze?

[DiOscar]

The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve train system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft and maintaining a specific gear ratio. The installation method for the Cruze timing belt is as follows: 1. Remove the front cover of the timing belt. 2. Use a wrench to rotate the crankshaft pulley in the direction of engine rotation until the mark aligns with the top dead center position of the cylinder. 3. Remove the camshaft cover. 4. Prepare the specialized camshaft locking tool, part number EN-6340. The right half of the locking tool EN-6340 is marked with the letters "right." Remove the two bolts of the locking tool and separate the left and right parts. 5. Insert the left and right sides of the locking tool EN-6340 into the camshaft position actuator adjusters.
