Crankshaft Pulley Lock Bolt Installation Note

1. Install the SST to the camshaft as shown in the figure.






2. Verify that the No.1 cylinder is at TDC of the compression stroke. (The position counter weight contacts the SST.)

3. To position the crankshaft pulley, temporarily tighten it and, using a suitable bolt (M6 X 1.0 length 25-35 mm {0.99-1.3 in}), fix the crankshaft pulley to the engine front cover.






4. Install the SSTs to the crankshaft pulley, lock the crankshaft against rotation, and tighten the crankshaft pulley lock bolt using the following two steps.






Tightening procedure
- (1) 96-104 Nm {9.8-10.6 kgf-m, 70.9-76.7 ft-lbf}
- (2) 87°-93°

5. Remove the bolt (M6 X 1.0 length 25-35 mm {0.99-1.3 in}) installed to the crankshaft pulley.

6. Remove the SST from the camshaft.

7. Remove the SST installed in the cylinder block lower blind plug hole.
