- Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal, as follows.
- If only the balance shaft belt is installed, perform the work starting from point 12.
Caution: Before installing the top and bottom covers, be sure to wipe them with a cloth.
1. Install the balance shaft drive pulley (see above).
2. Set the crankshaft and camshaft pulley to the position corresponding to the TDC position of the compression stroke of piston of cylinder No.1.
A. Align the TDC mark on the timing belt drive pulley with the triangular mark on the oil pump.
B. Align the camshaft pulley TDC marks with the top edge of the rear cover.
3. Install the timing belt in the order shown in the figure.
A: Drive pulley (crankshaft) → B: Adjusting pulley → C: Water pump pulley → D: Camshaft pulley.

After installing the belt, be sure to check that the positions of the marks on the timing belt drive pulley and the camshaft pulley correspond to the TDC position of the compression stroke of piston No.1 cylinder.
4. Install the balance shaft belt drive pulley and lower cover.
Attention:
- If the rubber seals were removed from the bottom cover, apply sealant to the bottom cover and install the rubber seals on it. Remove excess sealant.
- If replacing rubber seals, clean the groove in the bottom cover, cut the rubber seal to the required length from the repair kit and install it so that it has an equal thickness along the entire length.
- Before installation, be sure to remove any dirt from the bottom cover with a cloth.
- Before installation, make sure that there are no cracks or cuts on the rubber seals.
5. Install the crankshaft pulley and tighten the bolt to the required torque (see above).
6. Loosen the adjusting nut, lay the belt, and then tighten the adjusting nut to the required torque.
7. Turn the crankshaft 5-6 revolutions to allow the belt to run in.
8. Adjust the timing belt position (see above).
9. Check again that the positions of the crankshaft pulley and camshaft pulley correspond to the TDC position of the compression stroke of piston No.1 cylinder.
10. If the pulley positions do not correspond to TDC, reinstall the belt (see above).
11. Remove the crankshaft pulley and lower cover.
12. Set the timing belt drive pulley to the position corresponding to the TDC of the compression stroke of piston No.1 of cylinder (see above).
13. Secure the timing belt adjuster lever with the 6x1.0mm bolt (see above).
14. Loosen the adjusting nut 2/3-1 turn and make sure the balance shaft belt tensioner moves freely.
15. Press the tensioner in the direction of belt loosening and tighten the adjusting nut (see above).
16. Remove the 12mm bolt from the rear of the cylinder head and secure the rear balance shaft with a 6x100mm bolt.
- Place a mark 74mm from the end of the bolt.
- Screw the bolt into the service hole up to the mark.
17. Align the mark on the driven pulley of the balance shaft belt or the mark on the balance shaft (notch) with the mark on the oil pump.
18. Install the balance shaft belt, loosen the adjusting nut and lay the belt.
19. Unscrew the 6x100 mm bolt and screw in the 12 mm diameter bolt.
20. Install the crankshaft pulley and tighten the pulley bolt to the required torque (see above).
21. Turn the crankshaft pulley approximately 1 revolution and tighten the adjusting nut.
22. Make sure the adjusting nut is tightened and remove the 6x1.0mm bolt from the adjusting arm.
23. Remove the crankshaft pulley and install the lower cover.
- Before installation, be sure to wipe the bottom cover with a cloth.
24. Install the adjuster rubber onto the adjusting nut
- Do not loosen the adjusting nut.
25. Install the crankshaft pulley and tighten the pulley bolt to the required torque (see above).
26. After installing all components, adjust all belts.
- See section "Checking and adjusting the alternator belt".
- See section "Checking and adjusting the power steering pump belt".
