4. After installing timing belt, apply force to turn camshaft sprocket in reverse direction, then recheck to be sure that belt is fully tensioner and that each timing mark is in proper position.
5. Set timing belt tension as follows:

a. Loosen fixing bolt of tensioner pulley fixed to engine mount side by 1/4-1/2 turn and use force of tensioner spring to apply tension to belt.
