1. Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with timing mark "0" of the No. 1 timing belt cover.
   NOTE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.

2. Check that the timing marks (TDC mark) of the camshaft timing pulleys are aligned with the timing marks of the No. 4 timing belt cover.

   If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).

3. Turn the crankshaft pulley 60° counterclockwise to place the sub timing mark (60° mark BTDC) on the crankshaft pulley at the timing mark "0" position of the No. 1 timing belt cover.
   NOTE: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulleys (steps  13 and  19), thus resulting damage. So, always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
