What are the installation steps for a timing belt?
1 Answers
The installation steps for a timing belt are: 1. Place the toothed belt over the crankshaft and intermediate shaft toothed pulleys, then install the crankshaft pulley; 2. Align the mark on the camshaft toothed pulley with the valve cover, and align the top dead center mark on the crankshaft pulley with the mark on the intermediate shaft toothed pulley; 3. Place the toothed belt over the camshaft toothed pulley; 4. Tighten the fixing nut of the tensioner pulley, rotate the crankshaft two turns, and then recheck and adjust as needed. The timing belt is an essential component of the engine's valve timing system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft with a specific transmission ratio. The use of a belt instead of gears for transmission is due to the belt's lower noise, minimal self-variation, and ease of compensation.
