3. Drain engine coolant.
4. Remove drive belt, fan with fluid coupling and water pump pulley.





(a) Loosen the 4 nuts holding the fluid coupling to the water pump.
(b) Loosen the drive belt tension by turning the drive belt tensioner clockwise, and remove the drive belt.





(c) Remove the 4 nuts, fluid coupling and water pump pulley.

5. Remove radiator.





(a) Disconnect the following hoses:
(1) Reservoir hose from radiator.
(2) Upper radiator hose from water inlet.
(3) Lower radiator hose from water outlet.
(4) A/T:
2 oil cooler hose from radiator.
Plug the hose ends.





(b) Remove the 2 bolts, screw and upper radiator support. Remove the 2 upper radiator supports.

7. Remove drive belt tensioner.
Remove the 3 bolts and tensioner.
8. Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/Compression.





(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with timing mark "0" of the No.1 timing belt cover.

NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.





(b) Check that the timing marks 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°).
