Fitting new belt



Undo the upper and lower timing belt covers
Check that your new cambelt and tensioner match the ones you are about to remove.
You need the 2 locking bolts and the 2 locating rods to time correctly.
Remove the inlet manifold. This needs to be done to access the rear camshaft locking hole
Undo the 2 plugs (one on the front and 1 of the rear of the head) for inserting the locking tools into.
Insert the 2 locating rods into plug holes 1 and 2 and screw in.
Rotate the engine with a spanner until the 2 locaing rods are level. There are 2 positions where these will be level, but only 1 where the 2 locking bolts will screw into the camshafts.
Screw the 2 bolts into the camshafts
Take note of which way the cambelt rotates.
Undo the tensioner bolt and withdraw the tensioner
Slip off the cambelt
Unbolt the water pump and fit new
put the new tensioner on, but do not tension up
Put the new belt on, easiest way is to start at the crankshaft and work your way round to the tensioner.
Push tensioner until belt is taught and tighten tensioner.
Remove bolts from camshafts and put plugs back in
Turn engine through 2 full rotations and check that the marks on the tensioner line up or are pretty close.
To the left means too tight and to the right means too loose iirc.
Line up the locating rods and put the locking bolts back in
Adjust tension of belt until after 2 rotations you can get the marks lining up, make sure you remove bolts and put back in each time, just in case.
Refit the lower timing belt cover, however without modification the top one will not fit.
You can now remove the tape from the top of your plug holes and fit your new plugs. You can even put the HT leads on to keep the plug recess's clear of dirt.
